"Diamonds in the Rough" How to Find Talent In Your Leaders and Leaders in Your Talent!

Your business is only as good as the people who work there and your success is dependent on them. Your employees were carefully selected out of pools of candidates based on their experience and qualifications, but the recruiting process shouldn't stop there. Once you have all of your employees in place, helping your business to grow, it's important to keep examining and evaluating them to help identify which of them have the potential to be leaders and how to extract even more greatness out of your leaders.
How many stories have you heard of a person starting out in a low-level job like working in the mailroom or working as an assistant or intern and eventually rising to become a business superstar? The reason those inspiring stories are so common is that someone at the top identified the right qualities in those low-level employees and gave them the opportunities to shine. So how do you know what it is you should be looking for? Some may describe it as the "It Factor", but the truth is there are specific qualities and habits that are specific to strong leaders and Mike will show you how to sort through great employees to find your next superstars in an engaging workshop.
Crowning your leadership team isn't the end of the process, either. Once you know how to identify your leaders and appoint them with the responsibility of a leadership role, it's important to know how to keep them motivated and how to keep their growth process going. Leaders aren't born overnight, as Mike will explain, and they don't ever stop learning and developing. But they need someone to guide them in that direction and Mike can teach you how to get the most out of your leaders.
