Success Programs for Working Women in Business. Program 4: Charismatic Leadership for Women.

This is a program for the female supervisor who wants to move from using the traditional management functions to a more contemporary, people-oriented style of leadership. Specific steps are included so that men follow the female leader because they "want to," not because they "have to." This program is also for "informal leaders" in their work environment who desire to improve their influence in the organization, and have a greater a voice in the future of their organization. A workbook provides techniques for women in a step by step manner to incorporate this new leadership style in their everyday activities. This program is for working women who want to transition to a more contemporary management style where teams are not established (and probably will not be established in the future). If teams are being used, then "Program 3: Making the Transition from Manager to Coach" is more appropriate. Benefits included in this Leadership program are: (1) Learning the difference between the traditional view of managing and the new style leadership, (2) Understanding the power of leading through participative planning, (3) Being able to lead with people-oriented communication, (4) Learning how to lead through influence and inspiration, instead of controlling, (5) Learning the subtle skills to deal with people, especially men, on a new level, (6) Being able to develop an action plan to use the most comfortable techniques immediately on the job, (7) Having worksheets to assist in the application of the new capabilities, (8) Learning with the aid of "Application Exercises" after each step to immediately apply the techniques to your work situation, (9) Having the use of a support system to assist in the learning process. Step by step encouragement is offered at a web site for each phase of the program, and interactive communication with the author is offered in using the techniques with specific males, (10) Building your confidence with your new abilities, which should reduce work stress and improve the feeling of "wellness," and (11) Learning these techniques with an easy-to-follow 145 page workbook with "do-it-now" steps and worksheets, in the self-paced privacy of home or office.
