Intro to TLP Ken Vaughan New Horizon Partners, Inc. 2

Increase Effectiveness Even high-functioning leaders generally agree that they are only 40-70% effective. What if you could significantly increase your effectiveness? 3

Leadership Leadership = influence We lead through relationships Relationships require emotional intelligence Leadership is always interpersonal 4

Townsend Leadership Program (TLP) Developed by Dr. John Townsend Psychologist Business consultant Leadership coach Author or co-author of 28 books 5

TLP Leadership Model Competency and character We lead from who we are Character = capacity to deal with the realities of life Virtues, values, and traits Emotional intelligence The organization with conflict issues and the leader that could not deal with it. Not a competency issue; it was a character issue. He could not wade into conflict but rather hid from it. 6

Character Growth Grace / encouragement / affirmation Truth / accountability / challenges Time / intentional change The most effective means to character growth is a small group setting where we receive grace, truth, and time. 7

What Is TLP? Cohort leadership development Ongoing development program Small group of 7-10 people Ongoing development program 12-month commitment One full-day session each month 8

What Is a TLP Day? Teaching Small group John Townsend & Group Director SWOT presentations and feedback Group interaction Back to the story of ineffective leader with conflict. Teaching provides some tools or skills. The small group enables him to understand and work on why he withdraws and how to lean in instead. 9

Other TLP Features Individual coaching Involvement of spouse / significant other Affirmations and challenges Relationship day Growing as a person means we should be growing in relationships. We want spouses to see the group work and to have input in terms of affirmations and challenges. Leaders tend to be busy and somewhat isolated and we want to bring relationships into view. Also, if we are struggling in parts of our lives it takes mental and emotional energy that we need to maximize effectiveness. 11
