Show Notes:

Canadian Management Centre’s Business Intelligence podcast series is pleased to present the leadership podcast “Rising to the Leadership Challenge”, with special guest James Kouzes.

James Kouzes will discuss during this podcast the foundation of his new book “The Leadership Challenge“.  He will also explore why it is that when most of us think of a leader we automatically think of a company’s President or CEO or a Government Official, but it is the front line leaders like the Middle Managers that are in the majority and most importantly the ones that have the largest impact and influence.

James Kouzes will review and give real life examples of the five basic tactics that all great leaders should use to motivate:
1.    Set Example(s) of Common Goal(s)
2.    Aspire to Shared Vision
3.    Challenge the Existing Process
4.    Enable Others to Act
5.    Celebrate Victories

Jim Kouzes is an Executive Fellow at the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University. Not only is he a highly regarded leadership scholar and an experienced executive but also The Wall Street Journal has cited him as one of the twelve most requested non-university executive education providers to U.S. companies.

Canadian Management Centre’s Business Intelligence podcast series is pleased to present the leadership podcast “Experiences That Shape Great Leaders”, with special guest Stephen Baum.
During this leadership podcast Stephen Baum will examine the three pivotal questions that one should ask them selves when positioning into the next phase of their career:

1. Why people with similar talents have different degrees of success?
2. Can someone take their present performance and advance himself or herself?
3. What are the next steps to ensure success?

Stephen Baum will give real life examples of how to not only efficiently answer these pivotal questions but how to execute the answers. Mr. Baum will also review why it is that countless people smarter and more talented then those leaders present stall along the way and how we can learn from their experiences in order to replicate the successes and avoid the pitfalls.

As the chair of the Vistage Group of business owners and chief executives who engage in peer-to-peer coaching, Mr. Baum’s role has been to facilitate confidential exchange of experience, expertise, and approaches to decisions, ideas and resources on issues of critical importance to the members.
