2011 Executive Leadership Series with Michael Staver

2011 Executive Leadership Series with Michael Staver

The NIGP Forum's Executive Leadership Series for 2011 is presented by Michael Staver, Certified Speaking Professional.
  • Written by American City & County Administrator
  • 1st June 2011

Sunday, August 28

Leadership Isn’t for Cowards
2:30 – 5:30 p.m.

The path to courageous leadership has six components. These six steps ensure effective execution and progress in your journey. It takes real courage to stand firm in what you believe and then to get your followers to understand what really matters and how to execute effectively. This session focuses on:

  • the three most important steps you will ever take
  • the power of commitment
  • why followers follow you

Monday, August 29

Leadership Isn’t for Cowards (continued)
10 a.m. – 1 p.m.

The second day focuses on your ability to influence your followers, which is key to every step of creating significant results. Another key element is the power of commitment. If we fail to do the things that are most important and if we can’t manage the deluge of information that comes at us every day, we will drown in the chaos and fail as leaders. To avoid this, the elements of today’s session are:

  • what your followers do, really do, when you are not around
  • the primary motivators
  • three things every leader can do to ensure their failure
  • six actionable steps that will ensure effective execution

Attendance is limited to 25 people. Registration is $50, including lunch on day two.

The 2011 Executive Leadership Series is presented by Michael Staver, Certified Speaking Professional. Staver’s depth of knowledge combined with his sense of humor make him an inspiring speaker. With a bachelor’s degree in business and a masters in psychology, he understands the importance of results and what it takes to get there. His ability to make complex principles simple and memorable will provide a lasting impact.

Special thanks to Caterpillar for its generous support of the 2011 Executive Leadership Series.
