THE SUMO PRINCIPLES OF LEADERSHIP

 
In this highly interactive and practical workshop, Paul McGee will explore his main SUMO (Shut Up, Move On) principles and how they impact our ability to inspire others. His principles relate to any leader whose organization would benefit from taking a fresh look at the following five key areas; Change, Relationships, Attitude, Motivation and Stress. Building on his background in behavioral and social psychology, Paul will give us time to reflect upon our behavior and that of others and identify what hinders our effectiveness. Paul's aim is to provide a memorable, motivational, moving-on experience for delegates, which equips them with 'real world' practical ideas that they can implement immediately. Inspired by the Albert Einstein quote, “The definition of genius is the ability to make the complex simple”, Paul communicates in a clear and simple way, insights and ideas that are profoundly important to us as leaders.
