John's work centers on the three critical aspects, Leadership, Innovation and Synergy, effecting every organization's endeavors. Together these topics comprise his unique theme: Leaders Creating Synergistic Innovation. John does not have a "canned" speech, but rather customizes each presentation to meet the organization's specific needs. Briefly summarized below is an overview of each topic area. Leadership
Leadership is the foundation upon which everything the organization is and does stands. Leaders need to demonstrate seven essential principles in order to achieve both great and morally good Leadership. When these are modeled in the Leader's daily lifestyle, those who follow will do so willingly as their Leaders will have earned the right to instruct and mentor them. Upon this basis John builds using a series of graphical paradigms that depict how the organization can achieve long term success through significance. Finally, John provides a plan to implement Radical Leadership in a manner that will transform the organization into a marketplace powerhouse. Doing so creates an atmosphere wherein everyone from the CEO to the custodian becomes committed to the organization's future and clearly sees the importance of the part they play in making it happen.
Innovation
Innovation is the flame that makes an organization exciting to both the employees and public. Within Innovative organizations everyone's contribution is valued and vitally important. John shows how spectacular innovations can and have come from all levels and disciplines, often with blockbuster results and how to make it work for you. Innovation fuels the organization's growth and development and changes the normal process of slow evolutionary growth into a continuing succession of leap-ahead breakthroughs that propel it into a position of marketplace Leadership and frequently dominance.
Synergy
Synergy is the fire that results when all of the individual flames of innovative thinking, processes, products and services are combined in a well thought out and carefully orchestrated manner. John often uses the simple analogy of the glowing embers following a summertime campfire. Individually they each create a small amount of light and heat, but bring them together and within a very short time the fire is again blazing. Thinking and acting Synergistically is a discipline to be learned and practiced. With it Leaders will find that they can leverage their organization's innovative successes into exponential achievements.
Upon request John also addresses a wide range of other topics from Customer Service to Strategic Negotiating, all within the framework of Leadership, Innovation and Synergy.
