• The Intelligent Leader: Unlocking the 7 Secrets to Leading Yourself and Others in an AI World With John Mattone

  In today’s fast-paced AI business world, we find ourselves in a conundrum: regardless of the incredible technological advancements the world has seen and experienced in the past decade, all businesses still require (and will demand) superior leadership, outstanding talent, and a culturethat is positive and empowering to compete and remain relevant now and into the future. Here’s the stark reality, however: superior leadership—globally, is in massive, short supply. So is talent and cultures that are positive, inclusive, and empowering. Here’s another conundrum: there have never been so many books, blogs, speakers, and seminars on leadership, yet global organizations are finding that the supply of leadership talent significantly “lagging” the supply of raw intellectual horsepower. There is no shortage of intellect (artificial included) in the world of business; when it comes to superior leadership, however, most global organizations are realizing how difficult it is to compete simply because they just don’t have enough great leaders in their ranks. In addition, the challenge of preparing the next generation of leaders to handle the fiercely competitive global landscape, and lightening, fast pace of change that defines this era, is proving almost insurmountable. AI is not and will never become a substitute for great leadership, outstanding talent, and cultures that inspire and empower the “heart and soul” of people. These are the true “leading indicators” that determine and will determine the operating success of any global business.

  John Mattone has found a solution to this leadership paradox and developed an approach that cuts right to the core of what holds leaders back from greatness and organizations from maintaining their long-term relevance. It’s what has made him the world’s top executive coach, the “coach of coaches”, and what has drawn world leaders and Fortune 500 CEOs—from the late Steve Jobs to PepsiCo’s Roger Enrico—to seek his counsel. And fortunately for the business world as well as global government entities, Mattone’s secrets are no longer being shared exclusively in boardrooms and executive suites, but also in his 2020 bestseller, The Intelligent Leader and his powerful keynote, based on the book.

  What makes John Mattone’s approach to leadership and helping people and organizations achieve lasting success so unique, is his focus on helping people develop what he calls their “inner core,” which requires that they get in touch with their deeper purpose, strengthening their character, and clarifying their values. These are the elements of “heart and soul” that is missing in the leadership equation and without these elements, people and organizations will never create the masterpieces they were intended to create—even with the benefits that technological advancement affords us.

  “AI is not and will never become a substitute for great leadership, outstanding talent, and cultures that inspire and empower the “heart and soul” of people. These are the true “leading indicators” that determine and will determine the operating success of any global business”—John Mattone

  This sets his approach—the IL Philosophy, apart from the many leadership and life development approaches that try skipping over this critical foundational piece while focusing more on “outer core” skill development—like strategic thinking, decisiveness, and the drive for results. And, while these “hard” skills are important for competent leadership and organizational success, John Mattone has found that developing an individual’s inner core is the key to unlocking deeper leadership and organizational success. In fact, Mattone has found again and again that an individual’s capacity for improvement in their outer core—whether they want to become a better leader, better parent, better family member, better community servant, better spouse, etc., is directly tied to the strength, vibrancy, and maturity of their inner core.

Transforming Culture: The Road to Reinvention & Renewal

In this power-packed program, based on John Mattone’s Amazon and Inc. Magazine 2016 Bestseller, Cultural Transformations, John reveals the critical steps that must be planned-out and, executed, for any organization to create and sustain a renewed, winning culture that engages, inspires, and unleashes talent in support of driving breakthrough results.

The road to reinvention and renewal for any organization is based on having a workforce—from top to bottom, who are “centered” (i.e., fully aligned with the organization’s mission and vision) and, also passionate about making themselves better but also their organization better. The real pathway to achieving sustained success in any organization lies truly in how effectively a culture of “centeredness” is created and sustained.

The challenge for global organizations as well as the small to mid-sized entrepreneurial organizations is not “how do we make our people happy”? The real challenge is “how do we ensure that all our people are “centered” so they are poised and passionate to become the best they can be every day? It is through “centeredness”, that passion, happiness, joy, and true engagement emerges. However, it is culture that drives engagement and, ultimately, it is culture that drives operating success.

Culture is the foundation from which successful organizations are built—however, most struggle to create an environment in which employees are fulfilled, effective in their work, and feel “unleashed”. What exactly is it that makes some organizations achieve and sustain breakthrough success, while others struggle with transforming their cultures, whether it involves crafting a new compelling vision and culture or merging cultures?

We believe the Stealth Cultural Transformation Model™ (see below) provides a convincing answer to this critical question. This Model was initially researched by John Mattone in 2011 and 2012 and highlighted in his earlier book, Talent Leadership as well as Cultural Transformations. It offers a compelling, symbolic way to understand how leadership, talent, and culture all combine to ultimately determine if your organization will succeed or fail. They are, in fact, the ultimate leading indicators to achieving sustained operating success.

Key Elements of John’s Presentation:

• Research and Latest Thinking: Leadership, Talent & Culture are “Leading Indicators” that Predict Sustained Operating Success
• Roadmap of Cultural Transformation to Align with Company Vision, Mission & Purpose
• What is Culture
• The 5 Cultures of Culture
• Transforming Culture—The 6 Critical Steps
