Program Highlights:

• How to identify and evaluate potential leaders.

• Why "prima donnas" won't do.

• How to build a leadership game plan.
   

Scott McNealy, who co-founded Sun Microsystems Inc, believes that leaders can be identified but not created. And those we might consider as natural leaders require as much experience as they can get. They need to be constantly challenged and exposed to differing situations so their skills may be widened and improved and so their full potential rises to the surface. And this is where coaching becomes so important because if potential leaders are properly motivated and encouraged they will do their best and  improve their own strengths as well as contributing to the organization.

McNealy shares his methods for selecting and training exceptional leaders which he used to complete a successful leadership transition strategy at Sun Microsystems. He suggests that honesty and integrity are just as important as ability and notes that are there are always some types of managers that you are better off without. McNealy's inspiring and thoughtful message includes a plan to grow your own leaders to take your organization into the future.

Scott McNealy co-founded Sun Microsystems, Inc. in 1982 and served as chief executive officer and chairman from 1984 to 2006. McNealy guided the company from a Silicon Valley start-up to a leading provider of network computing infrastructure, with almost 38,000 employees worldwide.
