Leadership

"What do great leaders have in common? I believe the elements that make great leaders are passion for what they believe, and a desire to serve others. "

The ideal leader combines the essence of leadership with the skills and knowledge of a general manager. Not all managers are leaders. The key tasks for managers involve planning, organizing and directing. For leaders the key tasks are defining purpose, creating shared vision and values, and generating alignment with the organization’s purpose.

Leadership development is a key element to any successful corporation. Firstly, those who have leadership potential must be identified, and then it is critical to be intentional and pro-active through blends of training, coaching, and career-pathing.

Ken has brought this leadership development perspective to organizations such as Clarica, Corning, McCain Foods, and the World Health Organization (WHO).
