Are you a transformation leader?
“The strongest leaders are vulnerable, they are transparent.” – Ford Taylor
Transformational leadership occurs where the leader takes a visionary position and inspires people to follow. In this episode, Ford Taylor, Founder of FSH Consultants and FSH Foundation, shares his journey from when he was just starting out buying broken companies to now where he has helped many companies grow and impact improvement not just within their organizations, but as well as in their local communities.
“Most of us have been taught very well on how to manage but very little on how to lead.” – Ford Taylor
Ford’s leadership training and strategic consulting aim to help individuals and teams achieve transformation by removing and addressing personal and professional constraints. He helps solve complex business issues with straightforward, practical solutions while maintaining his focus on the people that matter most, the employees and the people composing the organization.
“The purpose of leadership is to cast a vision. Once you cast a vision to serve your staff, by teaching, training, equipping them and when do you, only then can you empower them. Once they are empowered, you let go so they can do their part.” – Ford Taylor
He shares valuable insights on his Transformational Leadership model that helps one become a truly effective leader and how being one helps in casting a vision that others can rally around that encourages and inspires them to move forward and become part of the team.
