Energy Leadership Workshop Energy Leadership is a
defined means of understanding how we, as leaders, use our energy to lead and
influence ourselves and those around us. You may be saying, “I have
energy, tell me more!” Check out the short story below that really illuminates
how this works in a nutshell. A new leadership
development program was being piloted in one of the San Diego resorts of a
reputable vacation ownership company. All associates of the resort could apply
to be considered for an opportunity to participate. In the breakroom that
afternoon, a conversation was overheard between 2 associates. Sarah was
venting to John about this new program. “Can you believe that to participate,
they want us to put in a few extra hours every week for the so-called
development opportunity?” Why do we have to go through more hoops just to be
promoted around here?? John responded to Sarah, “I can see your point, Sarah,
but I’m definitely putting my application in and taking the opportunity to
further my development. Who knows where it could lead?”
This short story illustrates a key difference
between anabolic and catabolic leaders. Two people, faced with the same situation, yet having two
totally different reactions. What's the difference between them? In a word, ENERGY! Sarah demonstrated catabolic
energy while John showcased anabolic energy.
When you think about your
reaction to situations around you, do you tend to resonate more with Sarah or
John? Join the Energy Leadership workshop and learn more about how it works and
the benefits you can experience immediately both personally and professionally.
