Leadership Skills - Do You Have Them?
Learn To Be A Better Manager


Managing can be hard.

You probably have a great set of technical and/or creative skills or you wouldn't be in your current position. You have the potential to grow even further. But perhaps you've inherited your staff, or you're a new manager, facing leadership challenges you never anticipated -- from thorny human resources issues to an unavailable boss. You need strong leadership skills to build your team and reach your potential as a manager.

You can't be an expert at something you never learned!

Perhaps you've read "new manager" books or taken leadership training workshops, and yet you are still not clear on how to tailor those leadership techniques to your situation. The solutions all seem too boilerplate. Well, it's been proven that attending leadership development classes or reading management training books alone will not change your behavior or approach. (You've probably proven this to yourself.) And you are faced daily with issues that you need to resolve now. Don't give up - there's a way to broaden your leadership skills and be a better manager.

Hello, I'm Dale Kurow.

I'm a seasoned executive coach. Over the past nine years I've worked with executives just like you, helping them develop leadership skills and become more confident and productive. They've gone from the brink of termination to becoming a trusted member of their boss's inner circle. They've built their managerial "muscles" which led to promotion and significant salary increases. Having earned 5 promotions in one fortune 100 company, I know what it takes to shine. This is not rocket science. Together, we can make this happen.

"I wanted to say thanks again. In 4 sessions, you did more to help me discover what I can do to help myself than the days I spent with Ph.D. level coaches offered to me at my company over 10 years."
ABB, Corporate Vice President, Fortune 20 Company headquartered in New York

Steps we'll take toward more effective leadership:

  • Based upon the results of the assessment and your goals, create an action plan of the major areas you will work on.
  • Using real-world business examples, identify your current leadership style and start using new behaviors and techniques.
  • Receiving focused individual feedback, suggestions and support, continue to build your skills as a leader.
