There Everyone A Leader® (EAL) was developed to create culture-changing shifts within an organization. What makes our program so powerful is that we focus on teaching people at all levels how to be leaders. We teach the importance of listening and engaging all voices, and then provide the tools and the methods to think and take action together. Tremendous growth is possible when this happens.
There are many great examples of how Everyone A Leader (EAL) stands apart from traditional leadership curricula. It doesn’t simply tell you what it takes to be an effective leader, it shows you how to be an effective leader. It provides you with the tools you need to turn your ideas into action. It demonstrates the necessity of valuing all the voices that make up an organization–from clerical staff to CEOs.
But as an African-American woman who has navigated workplaces where voices are too often silenced, I believe that EAL’s greatest attribute is something even more powerful: Its ability to create a culture of belonging, and, in the process, help people heal.
For more than 30 years, TeamTech has partnered with organizations, primarily nonprofit and governmental, to help grow their capacity and leadership strength.
From the very beginning, we’ve done this through strategic planning and implementation – top to bottom – using all voices. For the past 25 years, we’ve utilized our innovative leadership curriculum, Everyone A Leader®, which teaches how to lead at all levels in a facilitative style grounded in trauma-informed principles.
“When a paradigm shifts, everybody goes back to zero,” Joel Barker, futurist. I remember when I first heard this phrase. It was the early 1990’s and I was just completing my internship with Dr. W. Edwards Deming, the father of the quality management movement in Japan and then here in the U.S.
A paradigm shift had occurred then as U.S. manufacturing raced to change its approach to quality and employee engagement. A paradigm shift has occurred again today. COVID was the catalyst.
