What It Takes to Become and Develop Great Business Leaders for Your Organization by Bristlecone Learning

Being a successful leader is more than being the best in your field, Bristlecone Learning will present a thought provoking program on Executive Leadership at the Morrisville Chamber on April 2, 2008.

Morrisville, NC, March 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Bristlecone Learning, a premiere leadership training organization, is presenting a program on Executive Leadership at the Morrisville Chamber of Commerce on April 2, 2008 from 8:30am-noon. This is a thought provoking program designed to assist leaders or upcoming leaders to understand what it takes to be great.

“Being a leader is more than being the best in your field,” says Betsey Upchurch. “You also have to have emotional intelligence, seek to find long term solutions and continually work on refining leadership traits. This pro-active approach is what leads companies to great success.”

“I’ve seen it time and time again. The best, most successful salesperson, financial advisor, insurance broker, etc. is promoted to a leadership role,” adds Tim Moore, principal of Dancing Elephants Achievement Group, sponsor of the Executive Leadership event. “And everyone is shocked when they’re not successful. A leader needs special skills and traits. I’ve been very impressed with the curriculum that Betsey and her team at Bristlecone Learning are presenting at this event.”

The Executive Leadership event will use some experiential learning to ensure that participants will do more than understand leadership, but will experience leadership traits to increase retention beyond the presentation. Registration is available at http://deagsales.com/store_item/Leadership_Training.

For those that would like a more in-depth, transformational approach to leadership, Bristlecone Learning is holding an intensive 5-day course at the end of April in conjunction with Duke University, entitled The Enduring Leader™. Registration is open at http://www.learnmore.duke.edu/corporate/registration.asp.
