E5: Powerful Leadership: Inspire the Leader Within
Jennifer Mounce, SPHR

Problem - In this business age where everything is available and transparency is expected and required, it is crucial for managers and leaders to be transparent with themselves. Many managers out there still think it is okay to "not tell the whole truth", to "shelter their employees". Many managers still think there can be a division in their personality between work and who they are at home. What they fail to realize is their employees see right through it. Employees leave managers not companies. In this day and age, organizations can no longer afford to have people leave because they have a bad manager.

Solution - In my executive coaching practice I have supported many managers and leaders who have come to realize that they, for various reasons, have abdicated responsibility of leading their own life. When they work through a process of becoming a better leader of themselves they inherently become a much stronger and better leader of others.

General Session N:
Growing Leadership Capacity

Barry Conchie
Principal Leadership Consultant
The Gallup Organization

What are the innate talents of leadership? What aspects of leadership can be taught? Understanding this difference is important to everyone who believes that leadership matters. What we might describe as "character" and what we see in a person's behavior need to be understood and interpreted through what is innate and what is teachable. With a global leadership talent database of 45,000 people drawn from the higher levels of private and public companies, non-profit and government, this presentation will:

• describe how to define and measure innate leadership talent
• explain the research into the kind of workplace culture and performance management that enables the best leaders to flourish
• identify a researched framework for accelerating leadership growth and development
• identify the key components of effective leadership succession planning
