Athens Leadership: Is It A Good/Bad Idea To Be Friends With Employees?

You are the boss now - you won't succeed if you don't know the answers to the following questions:

• Are your employees your friends?
• Are you your employees' friend?
• What if your employees don't like you?
• How do you get your employee to want to help you?

You will learn a whole new set of thinking, that is outside of your current "zone of thinking", you will hear things you've never heard of before, you will perform a "software upgrade" in your thinking.

1. A manager or a business owner,
2. Managing a team of employees,
3. Or managing a team of managers,
4. You live in the real world, you have real world challenges you need to overcome.
5. You are a doer, you are a thinker, and you are a life long learner.

Q: Why "Traditional Management Training" no longer works when you need to turn your managers into today's leaders?

A: Traditional Management Training focuses on the "what": "what needs to be done" & "what are the processes to get things done". Traditional Management Training does not teach today's leaders the "How". "How to get your human employees to want to do what you need them to do." Traditional Management Training either ignore all the human factors, or treat humans like objects, for example: obideint robots.

Coach Michael Lin is known for the effectiveness of his leadership teaching. He utilizes seminars, workshops and one-on-one coaching to turn your managers into real effective leaders!

His leadership seminar students love his unique teaching content, as well as his unique teaching method. He is the best, at:

● Discovering what is in people's blindspot that is holding them back, causing internal conflicts deep down inside;

● Effectively teaching his students new ways of understanding their situations, therefore helping them to resolve the conflicts in their thinking, so they can become more productive - instantly!

BIO:

Coach Michael Lin came out of the tech industry, and uses his superb analytical skills to dissect business challenges.

He has deep insights into human nature, which he uses to help people to solve their business challenges. His analysis and solutions are all based on Emotional Intelligence, not on how we wish humans ought to be, but based on what humans actually are.

Managers & Leaders from over 500 organizations across many industries have attended seminars and workshops taught by Coach Michael Lin. Example industries are:

- Airports

- Automobile Manufacturers

- Aviation Companies

- Banks & Credit Unions

- Etc Etc.

Key Takeaways from his leadership seminars and workshops:

1: What makes other people tick? Employees who report to us? Our peer managers & leaders? Outside customers? Outside vendors? Shareholders? Upper management?

2: How to identify the right incentives - for other people? Why we should not confuse “the right incentive for ourselves" with "the right incentive for others”? How to utilize our insights into short term vs long term pain & pleasure to influence, persuade and help others, to create Win/Win outcomes for everyone?

3: How to advance our own careers, by going out of our way to: help others?! solve other people's problems?! Why we need to understand the big picture of the corporation (not just "my department") and solve problems for the entire corporation?

4: "Software Upgrade" in our heads, from employee thinking (my hours for my salary), into business thinking: what do customers need and want? how to provide goods/services for customers? What hardware & human capabilities do we have? how to inspire employees to want to give their best - using non monetary incentives? How to create win/win for everyone? customers, shareholders, employees, and managers/leaders?

5: Why Confidence Building by practicing Fear Busting is the key to Self Development? How we can constantly expand our comfort zone, by doing things we know we should do, but don't do - due to fear?

More Comments from attendees:

• " I am 57 years old and I've attended a lot of seminars in my time. Today's seminar has been the best, and I have attended a lot of seminars, I mean a lot."
• "You know, attending a seminar can be hit of miss. Today's seminar was definitely a hit."
• "My colleagues at work just texted me and asked me if I am bored being stuck in a seminar. I texted them back telling them: 'Surprisingly not, even tho I was expecting it to be just another boring waste of time seminar. I am actually learning a lot of useful information and the learning process is actually fun!' I also told my colleagues back in the office: 'You guys should all be here! having fun and learning useful info at the same time!' "

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

We have all attended those waste of time seminars that are:

1. Boring;
2. Lacking useful content;
3. Not able to solve any problems - problems that were the reason why training was organized to address and resolve;
4. Refusing or not able to answer questions from attendees;
5. Spent all day lecturing the attendees on "What to accomplish" & "What ability you must have";
6. But never taught the attendees "How to accomplish what they need to accomplish"; and never taught any of the skills the attendees are supposed to "must have";
7. The entire so called "training" was designed "For Show" and or "For Formality": just going thru the Bureaucratic Motions so everyone can say: "see, we conducted training".

Why bring another one of those waste of time seminars to your company? And force employees to endure thru them?

Be a real hero, bring a seminar that your employees will:

• Actually learn useful info that they've been craving for, for the info help them to solve their real life problems!
• Enjoy the learning process, for the learning process is inspirational not painful;
• Thank you and think of you as their BIG hero!

And when leaders improve? everyone in the company gets to enjoy the benefit: from team members to shareholders! And all of them will be thanking you for organizing training that's useful!
