You've Seen This Happen
Have you ever been given good leadership advice that just didn't work for you?
It wasn't bad advice. Someone else probably used it well. It just didn't fit you, or what that situation meant to you.
Now picture two leaders with the same problem. Each has someone underperforming on their team, and neither knows how to address it. Give them both the same good advice: be specific about the behavior, have the conversation this week, and listen before you decide what comes next.
Leader 1, Marcus, was promoted to director eight months ago. Underneath, he's worried about being found out, so the conversation keeps getting put off.
Leader 2, Dana, has run operations for fifteen years. Underneath, she believes it all falls apart if she lets go, so she takes the work back and does it herself.
Same problem. Same good advice. Two very different results.
If you develop leaders, you've seen this from the other side – the same workshop changing one leader and missing the next completely. We've watched it happen for more than thirty years, and it was never about effort. The right answer depends on who's asking.
In this powerful 60-minute webinar, Kevin Eikenberry shows why guidance has to fit the leader, not just the situation. Then you'll get a live demo of how Claridus can help two different leaders with the same question in two different ways. It's the first AI leadership platform that learns who the leader is to help them decide what to do.
What You'll Take Away
- Why the same good advice helps one leader and stalls the next. There's a reason, and it isn't that one of them wasn't trying.
- Why knowing a leader's style isn't the same as knowing the leader. DISC and other assessments are genuinely useful. And you may be the same style at 55 that you were at 25, but are you the same leader?
- What leaders get when they ask AI for help. How many of the leaders you know have already asked a chatbot what to do about someone on their team? General tools give them the average answer from everything on the internet. Your leaders deserve better than average.
- A question you can use the next day. The one I ask before I help any leader with a situation like this. It works whether or not you ever use Claridus.
- Claridus, live. Watch two different leadership avatars bring Claridus the same question and get different answers, because it has learned who each of them is.
Who Should Be There
- Leaders who want help that fits who they are, not the average leader
- Anyone responsible for developing leaders, in L&D, HR or talent
- Anyone who saw Claridus at Virtual LeaderCon. In September I showed you Marcus and Dana as an example. This time you'll see them for real.
Bring someone with you. If you know the person responsible for developing leaders in your organization, forward this page and invite them to join you. It's an easy way to show them something I think is worth a look.
About Claridus
Claridus is the first AI leadership platform that learns who the leader is to help them decide what to do.
A leader brings a real situation. Claridus learns not just their style, but their story: what a situation like this means to them and what they believe they have to do about it. We call that the LeaderLens, and it deepens every time they use it. Claridus draws on expert thinking matched to what they're facing and gives them a next move, often with the actual words to use.
It doesn't decide for them. They're still the leader. It helps them get to a good decision faster and with more confidence, and it helps them become more effective for the rest of their career.
The thinking inside Claridus is ours, built from decades of work with leaders, starting with Bud to Boss.
Questions You're Probably Asking
"Is this a sales pitch?"
Most of our time is about the idea, and you'll leave with something useful, regardless of whether or not Claridus is right for your organization. You will see Claridus, and at the end I'll share how organizations can take a closer look.
"I'm not the one who decides what my organization invests in. Should I still come?"
Yes. Come for the idea; it will help you as a leader. And if you think Claridus could help the leaders where you work, I'll make it easy to introduce it to the person who decides.
"What if I can't make it live?"
Register anyway. We'll send the recording to everyone who signs up.
YES, sign me up!
