The Effective Leader Program

Spring 2010
Location: The Children's Bureau, 1910 Magnolia Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90007
Communications Workshop: March 31 - April 1
Management Workshop: April 28-29
Leadership Workshop: May 26-27

The purpose of The Effective Leader Program is to provide a technology that empowers people to lead, manage, and work powerfully with others to produce breakthrough results in their organizations. By technology we mean something reliably replicable, and not based on belief or particular personality traits.
The Effective Leader Program has been conducted for more than 30 organizations, including for-profit, not-for-profit and government organizations. At Jet Propulsion Laboratory it was offered over 55 times and to a total of 1,300 participants. Over 90% of participants report the workshop as being of tremendous value and recommended it highly to others.

For an organization's members, the organization's vision is a source of excitement, passion and commitment. Yet for many, daily work is not connected to the organization's vision. This article shows how productivity, coordination, excitement, commitment, and passion can be brought to work by linking daily individual behavior to an organization's vision, mission, and values. Results are major performance improvements, the ability to overcome major obstacles and accomplish "impossible goals", effective teamwork, and a significant reduction in the level of management required.

FOCUS on Children's Bureau - Spring 2009

Children's Bureau's senior and program management teams participated in 6 days of leadership, management and communications training developed by Frontier Associates, Inc. and led by the company's President and CEO, Ivan Rosenberg. Our management team participated in the training along with others from Boeing, JPL, Verizon, Avery Dennison and Boy Scouts of America.
President & CEO Alex Morales said it was like learning the secrets of alchemy to our organizational capacity. Of particular use was the enhancing of our work groups into high performance teams. The mechanics of being able to repeatedly create breakthroughs was a wonderful gift. As a result, Children's Bureau management has been successful in capturing a new funding source for the Family Center at Magnolia Place, navigating through a cultural change by shifting adoption/foster care into the new Family Center and assisting mental health staff with changes in services as influenced by Performance Based Contracting in an even more rigorous audit environment.
Thank you to CB Director and Trustee Mark Carlin and his company, Lockton Insurance Brokers, Inc., for bringing this invaluable resource to Children's Bureau.
