Here's what others say: We sent several of our operations teams to The Cowboy Solution's unique leadership and team development programs in 2010. The results have been significant, especially in developing team trust. Don Hutson takes us through a process that helps us understand how to look in the mirror and see how we can be better leaders and team mates. I participated in a recent two day program and saw the team gel through Don's leadership principles. Most importantly I have witnessed continuing examples of the program's impact back at the office. This is truly a learning experience and definitely not your typical offsite. Bob Banks: COO; Swift Energy The Cowboy Solution is the most powerful program of its type that I have seen in 40 years.

Leadership Training & Team Building Programs

Mon, 05 Dec 2011 13:25:56 GMT

Corporate Programs Leadership Development, Team Building, Project Management The ability to build trust in the organization will be the number one competency of the 21st Century. Trust is the one thing that changes everything. Stephen M.R. Covey Today more than in anytime in history our whole lives are affected by a lack of trust. There is a crisis of confidence in almost every thing we do. And, in the corporate world this crisis has a tremendous affect on the bottom line. Research shows that only 49% of employees trust senior management, and only 28% believe CEOs are a credible source of information. According to Covey, When trust is low, in a company or in a relationship, it places a hidden tax on every transaction: every communication, every interaction, every strategy, every decision is taxed, bringing speed down and sending costs up. Is trust...
