Leaders Bringing Others Along:
Eight Timeless And Universal
Principles To Ensure That Others Follow

As a 21st Century Leader, do you want to make sure that you are bringing others along? This presentation will expand your thinking and challenge you while providing you eight timeless and universal principles to add to your skill set.

Authentic Leadership looks like "real" people who are Results Oriented, Inclusive in Practice and Committed to the Vision.

We understand that Results are achieved through people; thus the need for those in leadership positions to be intentional about creating Community (the force multiplier in the workplace), an environment that welcomes others to the workplace process. In this presentation, Clifton Taulbert will explore the value and dynamics of Building Community in 21st Century Workplaces where technology is a significant driver. He will also discuss why such a process remains a priority issue for those in leadership.

Clifton Taulbert, author of the Eight Habits of the Heart will introduce these eight timeless and universal principles as leadership tools to understand, embrace and employ in building community within the workplace- a needed connector in the information age. The Eight Habits are as follows: Nurturing Attitude, Responsibility, Dependability, Friendship, Brotherhood, High Expectations, Courage and Hope. The objective is that leaders become these habits through multiple micro-acts of workplace selflessness. According to Taulbert, resulting from these acts, within the workplace, will be R.A.I., Respect, Affirmation and Inclusion whose presence builds effective follow-ship and empowers the team to achieve beyond expectations.

Taulbert is one of America's leading thought-leaders on the "Power of Community" and views community in the workplace as a powerful leadership asset. Taulbert was chosen by CNN at the turn of the millennium to represent one of the voices of 'Community.'

Taulbert, a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Trustee for the University of Tulsa (Tulsa, Oklahoma) has been recognized by Time Magazine as one of the nations outstanding Entrepreneurs. Taulbert participated in the start-up of many companies, including being a member of the initial team that introduced Stair Master Exercise Systems to the world. He is also a former banker and advisory board member for Bank-One, now J. P. Morgan Chase.

Prior to his present role as a highly sought after seminar leader and keynote speaker, Taulbert, in 1989, gained international recognition with the publication of the best selling memoir, Once Upon A Time When We Were Colored. In addition to the Pulitzer-nominated, Last Train North which followed, Taulbert also authored the widely acclaimed, Eight Habits of the Heart, the principles which serve as the foundation for his company.

Taulbert believes that the Eight Habits of the Heart are essential for developing Leadership, Embracing Diversity, Mentoring and Delivering Commitment and Collaboration among teams. He also conveys to audiences around the world his very positive interpretations of bringing Respect, Affirmation and Inclusion into the corridors of the world's businesses through leadership that seeks to 'Brings Others Along' – Resulting in a workplace that builds and sustains personal fulfillment and greater productivity.
