The Three - Dimensions of Leadership Course

Introduction

This course provides a way of leading with a 3-pronged vantage point that de-complicates issues to make effective organizational decisions. As Einstein saw the elements of ‘E=MC²‘ which already were present, but unrealized by others, so does seeing The Three-Dimensions of Mission, Resources and Context better equip you to plot strategy and direction; design and manage processes; coordinate units, supervise and guide others into greater productivity and teamwork. Author Earl Wallace forged the MRC concepts in operations where people were transformed into goal-focused teams who effectively negotiated people, partners and politics to reduce resistance, inspire high achievers, and overcome obstacles.

This course will feature:

• How 3-D MRC thinking solves today’s challenges in ways that prepare for the organization’s future
• How to manage your organization’s options by handling its resources to achieve its goals
• How 3-D MRC values help coach, supervise and motivate others to meet organizational needs
• The strategic skills to navigate organizational politics to achieve the missions that matter most
• Practical guidelines for training, delegating and disciplining to move the organization’s teams forward
