WD PARTNERS
Leadership Training
Committed to developing thoughtful leaders and compelling cultures.
Jason Barger and his team works and organizations who are passionate about developing their people, culture, service and clarity of mission, vision and values for the future.
He founded Step Back Leadership Consulting LLC to provide consulting, leadership training, interactive workshops, facilitated retreats, keynote speeches and resources for distance learning that engage the minds and hearts of your people.
LEADERSHIP TRAINING WITH A FOCUS ON ENGAGEMENT & CULTURE
The most effective leaders, teams and organizations in the world Step Back to move forward. They realize the new economy requires laser focus on developing leaders, culture and clarity of mission, vision and values. Employees who feel valued buy in to the core values of the organization and have a clear vision for WHY, WHERE and HOW they are going to travel into the future.
In a world that is more busy than effective, the best leaders understand that growing and developing an organization takes intentional focus and action. They are committed to engaging the minds and hearts of their people. Step Back Leadership Consulting is passionate about this work.
ENGAGEMENT
A trait of the most successful leaders, teams and organizations are the ones who engage the minds and hearts of their members. They proactively create experiences for their people to grow, learn, develop and operate out of their core strengths.
Teams and organizations that focus and develop the strengths and leadership of their members remove disengagement almost entirely: from 22 out of 100 disengaged members on average, to an average of 1 out of 100 members (Gallup Organization, Strengths Assessment, 2010).
CULTURE
Culture is defined by the way we think, act and interact. It’s dynamic, and it’s always changing. Step Back Leadership Consulting implements the 6 A Process For Leading Organizational Change to help teams set the temperature they want for their culture.
Why? Because the most successful teams and organizations on the planet are conscious about articulating their mission. They bring clarity to their core values and develop clear language to describe the leadership attributes their organization needs to be successful. They create experiences for their members to learn, practice and develop the actions necessary to bring their core values to life. They focus relentlessly on how their people interact. They understand that culture is created one person and one action at a time.
WORK WITH JASON AND TEAM
CONSULTING
Leadership training through development and culture shaping is not a drive-thru experience. The very best leaders, teams and organizations commit to an ongoing ethic of developing their people and culture.
An ongoing relationship with a facilitator allows for authentic interactions and increases the effectiveness and long-term sustainability. Based on identified needs of each organization, Step Back Leadership Consulting LLC designs and leads processes that partner with the organization’s staff to strengthen the leadership, culture and clarity of mission and vision for their team. A plethora of styles are designed to anchor the learnings within the culture, including keynote speeches, workshops, team discussions, online programs for distance learning, etc.
INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS
(90 minutes to full-day retreats)
Step Back Leadership Consulting LLC facilitates engaging and interactive workshops that expand on Jason Barger’s keynote speaking topics as well as provides tailored leadership training experiences for teams focused on:
STEP BACK’S PHILOSOPHY FOR LEADING CHANGE
True culture change occurs for an individual, team, or organization because of focus and disciplined action.
Most change initiatives fail because we are moving too quickly, aren’t able to give our full attention to the areas in need, aren’t clear about the vision for how we want things to be different, and/or not able to stay disciplined enough over time to see the change through. Step Back to move forward. Leadership training through development and culture-shaping is not a “drive thru” experience. It takes a commitment to a continuous process of development, vision, communication, engagement, authenticity, and action. Change happens one small action at a time. Step Back Leadership Consulting LLC designs processes for individuals, teams, and organizations that fit their unique needs and objectives. Processes are congruent with years of research, study, and guiding principles.
