Leaders Open Doors:  A Radically

Simple Leadership Approach

to Lift People and Performance

  
   

Leadership is the most overanalyzed, thoroughly dissected, and utterly confused topic in business. The expectations leaders are judged against have become unrealistic and overly complicated, causing people to opt out of the chance to lead. It’s time to lighten the leadership load. It’s time to get back to what’s most essential about leading others; creating opportunities for those you lead.

The simple truth is that to be a leader is to open doors of opportunity for others. Drawing on the concepts introduced in the new book, Leaders Open Doors, leadership expert Bill Treasurer shows how leaders help people and organizations grow by creating meaningful learning opportunities.

Open-door Leaders focus on aligning the needs of the organization with the career aspirations of those they lead. People and organizations grow and develop when they intentionally pursue goals and challenges that stretch their skills and test their mettle.

 

LEARNER OUTCOMES:

  • Gain insight into the specific skills that all Open Door Leaders need to use
  • Learn compelling ways that opportunity attracts, inspires, and develops people  
  • Be knowledgeable about what it means to have an opportunity mindset
  • Understand the unique doors of opportunity that leaders can open for those they lead
  • Take away specific and immediately implementable tips on how you can start opening doors for others today
