Joyful Leadership
The "Fezziwig" Principles:
A Leadership Carol
We're all familiar with Ebenezer Scrooge, that sour distillation of every bad boss anyone ever had. And since most everyone can cite one or two they've worked for, it's hardly a surprise that a Maritz poll reports that only 7% of US workers trust their leaders. Trust is low, disengagement is epidemic, cynicism is rampant, all of it is costly, but it’s also nothing new as Charles Dickens proved over 170 years ago in A Christmas Carol. But one minor character who appears in just three pages in that story represents an example of positive and people-centered leadership: Scrooge’s old boss, Mr Fezziwig. Fezziwig represents the four essential elements of joyful leadership: passion, gratitude, kindness and humor that energizes his people, fostering their devotion and shared sense of purpose. This program will show you how smart leaders are using these same "Fezziwig principles" to revolutionize their cultures to build trust and success, and how you can do the same.
