Living As A Leader Information Session 

RCEDC has heard from local Racine County businesses that succession planning and training new leaders is a primary concern across all business sectors.  To help local employers address this challenge, RCEDC and RAMAC have partnered with Living As A Leader to offer a twelve month leadership development series beginning February 5th, 2015.

Leadership.  It’s an accidental career.

It happens in every profession: The highest performers emerge to positions of leadership.  Yet, too many leaders are leaving their leadership to chance.  They have not sought out the skills to lead intentionally and confidently.  Some show up with a “This is who I am; if you don’t like it, too bad” approach.  Many are too busy with their own stuff to help others.  Most have not figured out that this assignment is not about them.  It is about the people they are in a position to serve.   And, because they just don’t realize this, well, they make mistakes. 

Why does this matter?  If you’re a leader, why even care?   Let’s take a look at a few recent statistics: 

• 23% of new hires leave their jobs within the first year (Allied Workforce Mobility Survey, 2012).
• 65% of U.S. workers say they’d rather have a better boss than better pay (McQuaid Bosses Survey, 2012).
• Out of more than 32,000 workers surveyed, only 35% are highly engaged (Towers Watson Global Workforce Study, 2012).
• Employees who know their managers as “people” are more likely to be engaged (BlessingWhite Employee Engagement Report, 2013).

Find out how your company can address these statistics!
