Why Unlimited Leadership = Sustainable Growth
Asked to describe Lance Secretan’s superpower, most would say that he can ignite the flame of hope inside people and organizations.
We are yearning for leadership that will make us feel like we matter, that our ideas count, and that our work really makes a positive difference. This is especially important in this age of advancing technologies, headcount reductions, reorganization efforts, and stifling management practices.
Dr. Lance Secretan understands the pain-points for our entire workforce; he understands the impatience of the newer generations as well as the frustrations from the more experienced workers. They are all craving for leadership that opens up unlimited possibilities and inspires their corporate cultures.
Secretan is a best-selling author, speaker, teacher and mentor to leaders. After building a company from scratch to 72,000 employees, Lance retired. His next career was in academia, and not being able to find any textbooks that were relevant, or that matched his experience, he wrote his own. It became a national bestseller, and 21 more books followed.
He works with some of the world’s most successful leaders and their teams, where he helps them unleash their leadership potential and solve dysfunctional issues. For this, he is recognized as the world’s number one authority on creating inspiring corporate cultures.
Lance researches each client assignment thoroughly and customizes his speeches to fit each client’s needs. He has spent years studying people’s individual learning styles and uses this knowledge to craft his message so that it connects deeply with each audience attendee. He blends his research, his extensive knowledge of corporate life, and his gift for connecting with people, to deliver a speech that will inspire them so deeply that they will remember the message for the rest of their lives.
Speech Topics
Unlimited Leadership: Stop Hindering, Start Unleashing
UNLIMITED: un·lim·it·ed, adjective - not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent. (example: "the range of possible ideas was unlimited")
- Synonyms: inexhaustible, limitless, illimitable, boundless, immense, vast, great, extensive, immeasurable, incalculable, unfailing, infinite, endless, never-ending, bottomless, measureless
- Antonyms: limited, finite
This definition, when applied to leadership, sounds like the type of place where we want to work. Places where we pursue dreams, not mission statements. Places where we are inspired, not managed. Places where we care about each other, not tear each other down. Where great ideas grow, where customers feel loved, and where we wear our company pride on our sleeves. Places, in other words, where people are inspired and extraordinary results are achieved.
Unlimited Leadership is a heartfelt presentation that has grown from Lance Secretan’s latest book, The Bellwether Effect, which explores a different leadership path, one that steers us away from the dysfunctions in corporate life, enabling us to regain our passion for work life, which of course, will lead to higher performance.
