I had the honor of presenting at The University of Mary Washington's Annual Leadership Conference yesterday. What a great learning experience for me and the attendees.
The presentation was entitled Leadership & You - What They Don't Teach You in College About Bosses in The Real World That EVERY Student Must Know!
This presentation covers the fact that over 70% of the American workforce is disengaged and how this is due to the serious void in leadership! Fact is, there are a bunch of bad bosses out there that could not lead their way out of a paper bag! The problem with this is that it's costing everyone lots of money and causing a lot of unnecessary stress. Many of these bad bosses would get better if they were taught the right way! The tactics of success and great leadership can be learned. There are ways to improve your response to the events in your life and how to do that. How you can understand the source of self-limiting beliefs and move beyond them. The importance of having clearly defined targets or goals that you are aiming for.
All of these points seemed to resonate with this audience and might have been the first time that many of them had ever heard a message like that. This caused me to wonder.... What the heck are they teaching kids in college anyway? Are they getting an education or just a degree? Are they being provided with information that will really help them deal with what's in the real world after college?
I'm sure some are and I'm also sure many are not! If you want information about how to be successful in the real world and what they don't teach you in college about surviving while working for and idiot.... Visit www.bryanthalstead.com and get a copy of My Boss Sucks - A Story Book and Survival Guide. This practical resource is full of stories about leadership gone wrong and how to deal with it along with plenty of personal success messages.
