Kitchener, Ontario (PRWEB) September 09, 2014 -- Engaged2Perform is excited to announce a partnership with International Institute for Learning (IIL) to offer a new program that is dramatically altering the landscape of the modern workplace. This new partnership will focus on providing the content and structured guidance to help aspiring leaders develop the skill set necessary to advance their careers and enjoy leadership success.

Research indicates that "People Skills" make a critical difference in leadership success. Leadership is not the private reserve of a lucky few. It is an observable and learnable set of skills and abilities that are applicable at all levels, meaning exemplary leaders are made through learning and development of a variety of competencies that serve to challenge employees and bring out their best performance. The ability to motivate, inspire, encourage and “engage” employees are critical skills that help create a working environment and culture conducive to high performance and successfully achieving organizational goals and objectives.

James Autry, Ken Blanchard, Stephen Covey, Peter Block, Peter Senge, Max DePree, Margaret Wheatley, James C. Hunter, and others have embraced, supported and/or simply written about a concept known as “Servant Leadership,” in which a leader looks to the needs of the people first and asks him or herself how he or she can help them to solve problems and support their personal development. This concept has been around for many years, has affected many leaders and as a result, the people they have led.

Now Engaged2Perform and IIL are capitalizing on a fresh, new concept that it is believed will have an energizing and empowering effect in the workplace and meets a defined need in the marketplace: Grateful Leadership. It embodies this culture shifting concept that is based on the results of the training and global speaking engagements of author Judith W. Umlas on Leadership and the Power of Acknowledgment. Grateful Leadership is a recorded module (On Demand) event available 24/7 that focuses on the leader’s role in making his or her people feel known, appreciated and valued for their contribution. Qualified participants in the course are eligible for 5.75 HRCI credits and 6 Professional Development Units (PDUs).

“Without a doubt, leaders must demonstrate in a heartfelt and sincere way, their gratitude for the work and engagement of their people, on an ongoing basis, " states Umlas. "It is appreciation more than compensation that has people wanting to participate powerfully in achieving the maximum level of success for their organization. And there are specific ways that this acknowledgment can and should be demonstrated.”

Umlas has trained military officers in the U.S. Army at West Point in a full-day workshop and their families in a follow up evening session. She also delivered a workshop at Google, New York City, where the core concepts of authentic acknowledgment came to life and light. She has delivered many keynote addresses for Project Management Institute (PMI®) chapters and congresses around the world; spoken at the U.S. Justice Department and trained 50 executives at the New York Police Department, with numerous training engagements at Volvo, North America.

Grateful Leadership: Using the Power of Acknowledgement to Engage, Motivate, and Keep Your Best People, combines highly successful life and work altering, transformational principles with the applicable, meaningful lessons and insights gained though year of research into leadership and relationship success.
