The Power Conversation

Expanding Your Capacity to Act and Generate Outcomes

Create a Powerful Future

Leadership is about having the right conversations. It takes wisdom and skill to know what the ‘right’ conversation is. A lot of the leaders, even today, have a limited understanding of the word ‘conversation,’ and for them – there is not much beyond speaking and listening in a conversation.

The claim we make is: All your results (organization, team, and individual) are a function of your conversations – the ones that you have had and not had.

When you fully understand the above claim, then you will see the need for two critical Leadership Conversations – these conversations will dramatically impact your (and your employees’) results :

  1. The Strategy Conversation: Revealing Common Strategy Blind Spots of Leaders
  2. The Power Conversation: Expanding Your Capacity to Act and Generate Outcomes

Each of the 9 sessions of both programs will be power-packed. Every session will show you some new blind spots and introduce you to new leadership practices.

Illuminating the Blind Spots

The Strategy Conversation

Leaders and managers in organizations are regularly engaged in strategy conversations. Yet, if you asked any one of them, “What is strategy?” chances are you will get blank faces. A leader in a global IT organization once shared with us, after she went through one of our strategy conversations, “I have been in so many strategy meetings, however, I have never had the kind of perspective you have invited me to this time. Damn! I wish I had known all of this 20 years ago.”

The Power Conversation

Most leaders presume that power is a function of the title and involves using inducement (carrots) and threats (sticks). What leaders do not, often, fully get is that power is the capacity of a leader to act and generate outcomes. There are distinct and powerful “power” conversations that the leader needs to engage in, and when that happens, the leader is able to affect the behavior of others and generate outcomes that the leader wants. These are simple, yet profoundly powerful conversations.
