INTRODUCING FRONTLINE AUDIT

Do you really know the things about yourself that will allow you to change for the better? Are you prepared to analyse yourself, where you are at and why? These are challenging questions but ones which ultimately everyone will, at one stage or another in their life, have to ask and answer.

Why do you need to ask questions like this about yourself? Why do you need to put yourself under the microscope? Why do you need to challenge the status quo?

The simple answer is this. As good as you are, better is available.

The fact is that you can only change what you acknowledge. Sometimes, as hard as it is, the greatest gift we can provide for ourselves is the opportunity to become better. Becoming better won’t happen through circumstance or chance. The capacity for you to become better will happen through choice. Your choice!

SO WHAT IS FRONTLINE AUDIT?

The bottom line is the first line:

A person cannot become an effective leader without knowing who they really are, what they are about, what they stand for and what they are prepared to stand up against.

A good leader, an effective leader, is self-actuating and self-transforming.

Frontline Audit provides the opportunity to develop the facility for leadership through an invitation to self-discovery, self-analysis and self-truth. Therefore it also provides the opportunity for self-growth, self-belief, self-improvement and self-empowerment.

The underlying principles of leadership are openness and honesty as to one's own nature, skill, experience and knowledge while continuously working towards becoming a better leader. The reality is that the development of leadership skills is a lifelong quest.

So the real question is ‘are you ready, are you prepared, are you willing to look in the leadership mirror and strive to improve what it is that you see?’

The attributes needed for effective leadership are constantly in demand. The unique aspect of effective leadership is that all of the required skills have to be consistently changed and improved. As the leader, the parent or the coach, you must want to improve the life, opportunities and success of others through your own ongoing development.

Frontline Audit will go a long way in helping your quest for ongoing improvement to become a reality. It is a proven and practical diagnostic tool for assessing leadership effectiveness, improving your ability to influence your team and increasing insight and understanding of your leadership potential.

It provides the processes to allow you to truly understand all aspects of your leadership. Its structure and purpose will help you to investigate and assess your leadership against the parameters which ultimately quantify and determine leadership effectiveness.

WHAT DOES FRONTLINE AUDIT ACTUALLY ANALYSE?

The qualities which determine good leadership are open to suggestion, opinion and debate. Frontline Audit is all about understanding your philosophy, approach and actions as a leader. In the process it will help define the real you.

It will lead you on a journey of leadership self discovery. It will aid in recognising and understanding why you do what you do. In the end it will allow you to confidently analyse your leadership and empathise with all that is before you.

Some of the areas that will be explored include:

• How do you deal with adversity?

• What methods do you use to grow those you lead?

• How do you react when someone makes a mistake?

• How do you project an air of confidence and clarity?

• What are the boundaries of relationships with those you lead?

• How do you respond when someone challenges your thinking?

• How do you judge the levels of trust between yourself and those you lead?

• Where and how do you bring value to those you lead?

• Are you a good person to be around?

These questions have been carefully planned and constructed to evaluate and understand your real beliefs, approach and action when it comes to leadership.

HOW WILL FRONTLINE AUDIT HELP YOU AND YOUR LEADERSHIP?

Frontline Audit provides the catalyst to outline and detail all areas associated with your leadership. It’s not about changing your personality, identity or individuality. Undoubtedly the common ingredient between all great leaders is the ability to be themselves and for those they lead to be able to see confidence and competence in their leader.

Frontline Audit asks the questions for you to:

• Recognise and understand your leadership philosophy

• Analyse the influences behind how you react and respond

• Uncover how you make people feel about themselves

• Define why someone would follow your lead

• Realise where your confidence comes from and why

• Develop an amazing future for those you lead and get them excited about that future

• Determine how you develop commitment

• Ascertain how to get people to take responsibility

• Discover that leadership is about you as a person and not about the position you hold

• Acknowledge how you create clarity through vision and purpose

• Create space and opportunity to allow those you lead to become more than they ever thought possible

At the completion of the Frontline Audit these and other relevant situations in regard to your leadership will be identified, analysed and therefore understood. It will allow you to begin the journey towards elevated levels of enjoyment and effectiveness.

If leadership is about the person you are, as opposed to the position you hold, then the Frontline Audit will provide the accelerant needed to develop your true leadership potential.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

Frontline Audit was written with a specific agenda in mind. It provides a comprehensive program that not only encourages and supports you to evaluate your leadership, how it functions and why, but also provides feedback and follow up that will allow you to understand and improve your leadership. However for this to happen and for you to get the full benefit, we would like to provide three further steps with our compliments.

1. The Decision Maker E-book

The fact is that we all operate from a different perspective in our decision making. Undoubtedly, we depend upon a wide a variety of considerations, insight, pressures, knowledge, understanding and information to aid us in the decisions that we are required to make. As much as we would like to, the reality is that one cannot use the same style or method of decision making every day. The need for diversity of approach changes moment-to-moment, situation-to-situation and decision-to-decision.

Through this E-book, Bill Nelson outlines, explains and provides a number of different considerations and specific information about the process of decision-making.

2. Written Report

Once you have completed the Frontline Audit the next step will be for us to provide you with a written overview and evaluation from the information you have provided. This initial report is personally created for you and includes insightful feedback and assessment specifically orientated to inform and educate with relevance to your leadership.

3. Feedback Call

The third step in the Frontline Audit Program is a 30 minute feedback call with the Success Architect Bill Nelson. This call, at a mutually convenient time, will be orientated around Bill’s specific evaluation and analysis of your leadership through the information you provide by working through the Frontline Audit.

This feedback will provide you with a clear path as to what changes will need to be made and how you might prioritise these changes. Bill will also help you understand yourself and what you should expect as you make the changes necessary to take your level of leadership performance and productivity above and beyond their current situation.

At the completion of the call Bill will email you a written overview of your session as well as a recording of the call.

4. TPC Leadership Resource Library

The Total Performance Concepts Leadership Resource Library is an opportunity for you to be introduced to some of the specific strategies, concepts and ideas that Bill Nelson has personally used to help leaders in sport, business and education to develop and increase their leadership experience, understanding and performance. Each subject is presented in a bite size chunk of informative, relevant and usable information.
