Trusted and Effective Leadership

Reclaiming the Creativity to Lead Change

Seminar Dates:  May 2 - 5, 2010

Location:  Ballynahinch Castle in County Galway, Ireland

For almost 20 years, McLaughlin Young has provided leaders with an opportunity to stand back, reflect, and reclaim the creativity and energy to lead with passion.  Our work deals with the importance of trust in executive leadership and its impact on organizational effectiveness, the implications of “stress” on organizational performance, and the importance of having a clear vision, what we call a “Third Circle," to guide your entire team toward better performance and increased profitability. 

This seminar, Trusted and Effective Leadership—Reclaiming the Creativity to Lead Change, is about the very personal questions that leaders must ask themselves if they expect to:

• Be trusted by their followers and by those with whom they must collaborate

• Cope with stress

• Creatively lead the change necessary to attain their “Third Circle” 

This seminar is an opportunity to stand back and reflect in one of the most serene, stress-free, and creative environments in the world.  Ballynahinch Castle, in the West of Ireland, is an escape from all distractions and stress.  Seminar participants enjoy the natural beauty of the last unspoiled part of Europe.  This area of Ireland has retained its traditions against very difficult odds—something we expect of successful business leaders, despite the changes they encounter in the business world.  The recreational periods are as important as the relaxed, yet intellectually challenging, conversation and discussion sessions in front of the log fire.
