About the event:

Leadership in any type of organization, whether governmental, non-profit, or private sector, and at any level of authority, requires the effective management of oneself and others. Robert Wilkinson believes effective leadership and decision-making depends heavily on the capacity to work across political and cultural divides and to constructively engage multiple stakeholders utilizing our negotiation skills and overall ability to enhance personal effectiveness.

This webinar will introduce the 4P Framework for Personal Leadership Effectiveness, which is intended to provide participants with a clear model to engage in difficult leadership and negotiation situations more effectively. The 4P framework is a set of four domains of personal effectiveness, which are: Perception, Process, People, and Projection. The 4Ps are built on academic literature and incorporate scholarly and practitioner frameworks, which will enhance participants’ awareness of important dynamics and challenges in a wide range of leadership situations. They will provide a number of key principles and practical tools to help you get better outcomes as you continue to enhance your capacity to lead.
