FranklinCovey’s "Leadership: Great Leaders, Great Teams, Great Results®"

Leadership:  Great Leaders, Great Teams, Great Results® is FranklinCovey’s flagship leadership-development program.  It takes a “mind-set, skill-set, tool-set” approach to developing leaders who can apply the 4 imperatives to unleash the talent and capability of their team against the organization’s highest priorities.

The 4 Imperatives of Great Leaders

The problem is that many leaders rely on an “old school” approach to leadership.  Great leaders not only see the world differently, they do things differently.  Specifically, these skills can be defined as the 4 Imperatives – the critical, essential functions of a great leader:

  • Inspire trust among direct reports, superiors, and peers.
  • Align systems and work processes so they facilitate rather than hinder achievement.
  • Clarify purpose by articulating why goals are established and how individual work contributes to those goals.
  • Unleash the unique talent and contribution of people on their teams.

In addition to drawing from a proven legacy of developing effective leaders, FranklinCovey’s Leadership:  Great Leaders, Great Teams, Great Results® program also taps into the best thinking of well-known leadership experts, including:

  • Jack Welch (former head of GE)
  • Ram Charan (Execution:  The Discipline of Getting Things Done)
  • Fred Reichheld (The Ultimate Question)
  • Clayton Christensen (The Innovator’s Dilemma)
  • Stephen R. Covey (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People)
  • Stephen M.R. Covey (The Speed of Trust)

Learning Outcomes:  

  • Skills for building trust and influence with others.

  • The most effective way to define a team's purpose and the "job to be done".

  • How to align the four essential systems that drive success.

  • The proven process for creating a strategic link between the tasks of the team and the goals of the organization.

  • How to connect the tasks of the team to the organization's economic model.

  • Skills to master the three key conversations that will help you break through to greatness.

Eligibility:  The 7 Habits workshop is offered to all juniors at CMA with precedence given to those students who are active in the Gold Medal Leadership program.
