www.johnson.cornell.edu/park/director.html
Clint Sidle is Director of Cornell University’s prestigious Park Leadership Fellows Program in the Johnson School of Business Administration. In this leadoff workshop, Dr. Sidle will reprise his top-rated presentation from the first Certified Leadership Series.
His book, The Leadership Wheel: Five Steps for Achieving Individual and Organizational Greatness, contains a powerful roadmap for approaching the lifelong process of fulfilling leadership potential not only for yourself, but for others and your organization. Dr. Sidle focuses on an ancient framework of multiple intelligences--intellectual, emotional, intuitive, action, and spiritual--that redefines our notions of leadership and the purpose of business. Participants will complete the Johnson School 360 Leadership Assessment as part of this workshop. The Leadership Wheel provides a strong foundation for the stimulating workshops that follow in the series.

The 5 Dynamics of Powerful Teams
An experienced duo of presenters, Mr. Pescitelli and Mr. Sturgell are certified executive coaches with extensive public and private sector experience in leading and motivating teams, and developing robust organizational strategies. Mr. Pescitelli is a certified executive coach with over 25 years of executive experience. He designed and directed the highly successful first Certified Leadership Series for the ISAE.

The 5 Dynamics is a remarkable executive decision-making tool for expanding self-awareness that maps the type of personal energy each person brings to their careers and relationships. The 5 Dynamics goes well beyond typical personality profiles to provide leaders and managers with unique insight into why people perceive each other differently. Participants will discover how to leverage their results from the Johnson School 360 Assessment with the 5 Dynamics to provide powerful new insight into how they are perceived by others, and why these perceptions exist.
One of the top-rated learning experiences in the first Certified Leadership Series, the 5 Dynamics will help participants understand how to build focused and balanced teams, manage interpersonal relationships to best advantage, get up to speed quickly in new leadership roles, and “manage up” with immediate benefits to career development.

She is the author of four books, and has been featured on national radio shows and in newspapers and publications with national circulation.

Ms. Simmons’ workshop will focus on two areas of critical importance to anyone wishing to build their capacity for effective leadership. The first half of the workshop focuses on understanding and recognizing dysfunctional office behaviors, and provides specific approaches to move people past the territorial games that sap organizational energy.
The workshop’s second half will help participants understand how storytelling in organizations can inspire trust and collaboration. When leaders learn the six principles of effective storytelling, they can make the kind of emotional connection with people that helps new visions become reality. The workshop includes time for skill practice, group comments, and interactive discussion.

Ultimately leaders are recognized for how well they lead others to produce intended results, and how well they inspire and sustain an environment that brings out the best in people.

Grand Synthesis and Wrap-up
www.johnson.cornell.edu/park/director.html
All great leaders stand for something. Drawing on the lessons learned from the Leadership Wheel, the Five Dynamics and other components of the Certified Leadership Series, participants will be guided through a series of reflective exercises designed to help them develop a strong sense of personal mission, vision, and values. This framework will help participants shape their leadership style, their career choices, and their lives as a whole. The discipline of developing this vision cultivates a way of thinking and being that produces increased self-awareness and a sustained sense of energy, confidence, and resilience. As a follow-up to this workshop, participants will prepare a personal mission, vision and values statement and will be tasked with developing a plan of how it applies to their careers and development as leaders.
