This one-hour program presents the case for a needed paradigm shift in corporate America today, defined by the qualities of Enlightened Leadership. The negative forces at play are described, together with ways in which these forces can be countered by the positive forces of Enlightened Leadership. Successful leaders understand how to use self-empowerment and their own inner wisdom and maximized creativity as facilitators of success. You know who they are by the degree of respect, admiration and loyalty their subordinates and their peers have for them. They are sought out for the solutions to the big problems, as they always have the answers. Enlightened Leaders use their inner light to provide the right solution at the right time. They use their heart and not just their head to deal with interpersonal problems, and they understand and use their power wisely.
Working-level examples are presented to encourage leaders at every level of the organization --whether project manager, team lead or executive-- to make the shift to Enlightened Leadership.
