Being a leader is hard, but there are some basic skills that every leader should know. Yellow Wagon Leadership works with new, and even experienced leaders, to deepen you understanding of these skills, and improve your leadership performance.

You are unique, and already have good skills. When I work with a leader, I begin with discovering your strengths and how you best interact. This discovery includes a DiSC assessment, a 360 degree review, and a leadership pattern identification.

From that baseline, I work with you over 3 – 6 months to design your ideal leadership style, and help you implement practices and policies that will allow you to bring out the best in your team.

Results

You will enhance your leadership style, communication styles, and the mechanics necessary for you to strengthen your leadership role and improve employee engagement for your team. Our goal is to reduce your leadership stress and increase team productivity.
