Do your people understand the six stages of a crisis?
Do your leaders recognize the stage their people are in and do they react appropriately?
Are your leaders leading, or just hoping for the right outcomes?

• Understand the six stages of any change, challenge, or crisis.
• Implement the five ways to P.I.V.O.T. through the crisis.
• Use the seven leadership reminders to lead out of a crisis.

In order to successfully lead people through and out of a crisis, first, we have to understand the 6 stages of the crisis. Based on her Navy experiences during the first and second Gulf Wars and 9-11, Commander Mary Kelly articulates the reactions of people in various stages of change, challenge, or crisis.

As effective leaders, we have to be able to help our people P.I.V.O.T. through the crisis, by renewing their sense of purpose, influencing and inspiring others to take the right action, assessing the volatility levels, seeing the opportunities, providing the right tools, techniques, and technology that allow people to succeed. Then we can apply Mary’s seven leadership reminders, using the acronym C.L.A.M.P.E.R. so that we are providing the right response to the right people at the right time to achieve the right outcomes.

Why Leaders Fail and the 7 Prescriptions for Success is a corporate training and conference keynote that is based on data and delivered in a way that entertains and engages audiences of all levels.

Great leadership, if you are doing it right, is hard.  Being a great leader is more than just showing up, going through the motions, sitting in the big chair, and getting paid.
Great leaders are always thinking about how they can become even better for their organizations, their people, and themselves. Our goal with this research was to identify areas where great leaders can become even better.

We surveyed over 100,000 employees in over 70 different industries. We asked a variety of questions, such as:

• “What gets in the way of you doing your job more effectively?”
• “What could leadership do at your organization that would help you be more productive?”
• “What tools or training do you need so that you can function more efficiently?”

And delved into specific frustrations:

• “Have you ever seen a really good person be promoted to a leadership position and struggled?”
• “Why did they struggle?”
• “What does your leadership do that frustrates you?”
• “What are your leaders and managers doing that cause them to sabotage their own success, even though they may have the best of intentions?”

We gathered the data and then categorized it into seven critical areas which define successful leaders.

The 7 critical areas are Vision, Trust, Teamwork, Empathy, Fairness, Humility, and Decision-making.

In this highly engaging and deeply effective book and program, leaders will gain insights to:

• Understand why your top talent is not performing up to their top potential
• Learn specific actions that lead to both short-term and long-term success
• Control and manage how you are perceived by your team, your peers, and your leadership
• Identify small actions that sabotage the loyalty and productivity of the people around you

Using the 7 Prescriptions for Success Assessment, leaders are able to focus their energies on the activities that maximize their time and resources.
