    Leadership Development Institute – Mastering the Practices of Influential Leadership

    Consider those you willingly choose to follow. What are the characteristics and practices of these people? How do they treat you? How do they inspire you? How do they convey a vision that is compelling to you and that results in you willingly following them? How have these people influenced you?

    We are all in roles – as leaders of people, as subject matter experts and as both – where we influence others. What can we do to improve our influential authority so that others willingly choose to follow us?

    To help everyone learn the skills and master the practices of influential leadership AIM-Utah has developed a three session course focused entirely on influential leadership.

    The details of this program are:

     Session One: Discovering and understanding my leadership brand

     Session Two: The practices of influential leadership

     Session Three: Recognizing and seizing opportunities to use and grow my influence

    The Fall 2025 Course takes place:

     Session One: Friday, September 5, 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

     Session Two: Friday, October 3, 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

     Session Three: Friday, November 7, 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

    Dear AIM Utah Members:

    Our Topic:

    Dr. Sunnie Giles on Quantum Leadership and Radical Innovation (and a copy of her book)

    Please join us on Thursday, October 9th for our October AIM Lunch meeting.

    About Our Speaker

    Our October 9th AIM Lunch Meeting features Dr. Sunnie Giles - author of "Radical Innovation" - talking with us about the role of "Quantum Leadership" and radical innovation. Dr. Giles is a highly-respected researcher and a great presenter. Those how register for the event early enough will also get a copy of Dr. Giles book.

    About The Session

    Business leaders are being challenged at an unprecedented rate with increasing complexity and uncertainty and with increasing demands for faster decision making. The rules of the game have changed dramatically from standardization and cost reduction of the Industrial era to constant learning and innovation for the digital era.

    We now need a new type of leader: the Quantum Leader. These leaders are fundamentally different from the rest of the pack and are a much better fit for today’s fast changing environment. They operate on adaptability, self-organization, diversity of thought and simple rules. Dr. Giles' research has found that there are six distinct leadership competencies necessary to deliver radical innovation: self-management, safety, differentiation, connection, learning, and integration. Consistent innovation is the only way to survive in a fast changing VUCA world. By harnessing VUCA, Quantum leaders not only consistently deliver on radical innovation, they reclaim humanity and cement a team with psychological safety and connection. In this session Dr. Giles teaches how to:

    •     Take the mystery out of radical innovation and redefine the rules of how the game is played.

    •     Identify how to catalyze innovation in your organization.

    •     Set a strategic agenda for organizational transformation.

    •     Identify what leadership competencies are required to become successful in the fast changing, uncertain times.
