Main Story: Leadership Training – A Strategic Investment
Leadership Training – A Strategic Investment
The goal of Leadership Training is to learn how to motivate and develop your team to optimize outcomes. Utilizing a Balanced Leadership approach can make that happen. The context of our training program includes a road map in five key areas. In this segment we will explore the first of these key areas.
Key Area One – Why Values Matter
Leadership is not a passive duty, it is an active responsibility. The objective of “Why Values Matter” training offered by 3SIXTY is to recognize how leaders demonstrate their values and set the tone from the top. This training will explore how to provide your team members with the leadership they need to successfully reach their desired goals in concert with your work groups and organization’s goals. There are five important concepts to consider:
– Highly effective leaders must have balance when considering their business. Learning how to inspire your team to take this to heart through the Balanced Leadership™ model helps leaders identify who you are, what you stand for individually and as a business, and what you will never compromise.
– Creating a strong value system is a key part of your culture and must be connected to your mission and vision – from recruiting, through onboarding and annual performance reviews. We’ll examine the tools that leaders need to guide actions and decisions that are consistent with what your people, customers and investors believe to be your strategy.
– Setting clear expectations for your leadership team is a strategic imperative when it comes to ensuring alignment with your values. Dive into the process of setting Leadership Expectations as an essential accountability tool.
– Many factors place pressure on individuals within your organization. Sometimes with pressure comes pain, which can motivate people to do some desperate things. We’ll explore the consequences of poor decision making.
– Bringing your values to life helps institutionalize them. It is a process that includes modelling what “Exceptional Leadership Looks Like” and ensuring leadership consistently communicates expectations throughout your organization.
In upcoming newsletters we will cover more of the concepts that form an integral part of a Balanced Leadership approach:
* Why Values Matter
* Handling Difficult Conversations
* Being Obsessed with the Front-line
* Succession Planning
* High Performance Selling
And much more. Stay tuned.
I am very interested and am sure you have your own thoughts that you would like to share. Please email me with your ideas about any of the items above at [email protected].

Keynote Speaker: Emerge Insight Tour, The Peninsula Hotel, Chicago. Ill., July 26, 2019.
Our topic and conversation centered on the following:
Making Informed Operational Decisions with your Three Key Constituents in Mind Through Balanced Leadership.
As one of the architects of UPS’s entry into supply chain and logistics, we spoke about how senior-level leaders of logistics and supply chain management can create a performance-driven organization that operates more efficiently and effectively by applying the principles of Balanced Leadership. Operational leaders can help people at all levels of an organization see the bigger picture and promote moral and ethical behavior through their leadership examples. The Balanced Leadership approach takes into consideration three key constituents – customers, people and shareholders – who must always be represented in the decision-making process.
A comprehensive supply chain, utilized properly, can be a strategic and competitive advantage. In today’s competitive environment it is being taxed by multiple internal and external factors on a daily, hourly and sometimes minuteby-minute basis. As a leader, it is critical that your decisions are timely and informed decisions that will have a positive impact on your customers, employees, stakeholders, vendors, and the organization as a whole. Approaching your role with the understanding that your people are your greatest asset and will differentiate your company from the competition in today’s highly competitive business environment will be an essential ingredient to your success. You will understand the value of having the best, the brightest , most informed and best educated people in the industry as part of your team.
A balanced leader with a high level of emotional intelligence requires another level of skill that goes beyond education, job experience, and technical knowhow. Active listening, building strong relationships and taking responsibility all contribute to what it takes to be a successful operational leader in today’s everchanging business environment. With a complete, robust and articulated vision, strategy, training and communications plan, you will accomplish your goals and objectives though walking the talk and your daily actions.

Coach’s Corner – Exclusive never-seen before interview with UCLA Coach John Wooden
In every newsletter I include a quote from UCLA Coach John Wooden, whom I had the great pleasure to interview while I was a leader at UPS. Coach often said, “Control yourself so others won’t have to do it for you.” Click below to view the full interview.
If you play a coaching role (and we all do), please look at the unique and exclusive interview with legendary Coach John Wooden on our website. Coach Wooden was a supporter of the Jimmy V Foundation and in memory of Coach Valvano, who passed away, April 28, 1993, we are remembering Coach Valvano and his fight by donating one dollar to the Jimmy V Fund to find the cure for each copy of Tighten The Lug Nuts sold.
Coach Valvano is remembered for being many things: a player, a coach, a broadcaster, a brother, husband and a father. But above all he was an inspiration. And when he was diagnosed with cancer at 46, he never gave up. Thank you in advance for your generous support and enjoy the book.
