Scott McKain - "Congruent Leadership"

Leadership is really all about moving individuals to attain personal goals that are congruent with organizational objectives. If organizations are going to execute the strategies that create compelling experiences for customers and employees to generate greater loyalty and enhanced profitability, managers at all levels must understand the principles of Congruent Leadership.

Based upon Scott's forthcoming book, "Congruent Leadership" utilizes Scott's vast experience as a Vice Chairman of a publicly traded company, Board membership on organizations ranging from financial service companies to one of the nation's largest non-profit organizations, and his personal access to leaders from CEO's of Fortune 500 businesses to political leaders of international fame. Through his efforts, Scott discovered that the element most often overlooked in discussions surrounding leadership is the fundamental quality of congruency.

If the leader's efforts and positioning aren't in alignment with organizational CFO's (critical few objectives), the effectiveness of both the manager and the company are diminished. While most leadership programs focus upon the "we" of a "team", Scott suggests that congruent leadership must center upon the "I's":

• Innovation
• Insight
• Information
• Inspiration
• Imagination
• Intuition
• Instinct

"Congruent Leadership" will challenge your thinking regarding what leadership is truly all about!
