Be The Leader Who Delivers The Right Results, The Right Way™

Make no mistake: Everything in a leader’s world begins and ends with results. 

In fact, it’s a pretty simple equation.

No Results = No You.

But “HOW” you get things done also matters a great deal. 

And it’s the best-of-the-best who understand how to get the right results, the right way™.

By mastering the concepts and skills taught in our “Great At Work®” leadership and management courses, you can:

Be the leader with clarity of purpose.

Indeed, when you know how to establish crystal-clear priorities--the kind that are driven by a shared sense of purpose--there’ll be no question as to where you are going or how you’re going to get there. And it’s this kind of rare clarity that creates alignment, sparks energy, and inspires courage. 

Be the leader who sets aggressive, achievable goals.

Leaders who understand how to get the right results in the right way recognize that aggressive, achievable goals consistently lead to better outcomes—and the most difficult goals produce the highest levels of effort, even greater persistence, and better overall performance.

Be the leader with laser-like focus.

One concept every effective leader understands is ‘time-on-task.’ Put simply, the more attention you give to getting the right things done, the more successful you are. It’s as easy—and as hard—as that. The trick is to knowing how to figure out what truly matters and what doesn’t.

Be the leader who delivers on-time, every-time.

There’s an old adage, “The first 90 percent of the task accounts for the first 90% of the time. The remaining 10% of the project accounts for the other 90% of the time." But once you know the secrets of effectively organizing even the most difficult of projects, you’ll never miss a deadline again. 

Be the leader others want to follow.

One of the greatest leadership privileges is taking people from where they are to a destination they never even dreamed they could get to. And once you understand—and master—the process for developing and growing your people, it will be the norm not the exception.

Be the leader who turns ordinary people into extraordinary performers.

Perhaps the greatest strengths of any next-level leader is the ability to turn “ordinary” into “extraordinary.” Like alchemy, turning ordinary into extraordinary is that magical process where you collectively visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible—and then get it done anyway.

Be the leader whose organization is proud to have you in that position.

Nothing feels better than knowing that your organization is proud to have you taking care of it's most precious asset. And when the going gets tough, there'll be no doubt to whom people will be looking when it's time to take charge.

Be the leader who leaves a legacy of results and impact.

The ultimate test of your leadership is the legacy you leave behind. And if you do it right, your impact will be seen--and felt--for years to come.

Be the leader whose people are Great At Work®.

By enrolling in our engaging, practical and skill-based courses, you can be the rare and special leader/manager who understands how to get the right results, the right way™

The GREAT AT WORK® Leadership Institute

Burn this into your brain.

The height of your success as a leader will depend on the depth of your knowledge, skills, and acumen. And the only way for you to reach your true potential is by deepening your understanding of what the best leaders and managers do better.

On-Demand Courses, Live-Events, Inventories, and Coaching To Help Leaders and Managers Excel

Because we’ve been carefully studying great leaders and managers for years, we’ve identified the specific things they do AND how they do them. By reading, researching, surveying, interviewing, observing and practicing, we’ve captured the specific methods, approaches, processes, habits, and routines of what the best do to bring out the best in their people.

And when you enroll in our courses, we’ll teach them to you.

Here's what you can look forward to.

GREAT AT WORK®: FOR LEADERS

Specifically, when you enroll in DHI’s Great At Work® For Leaders course, YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:

• GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE ON THE BUS. As a result of taking this course, you’ll discover what the best leaders do to establish extraordinary relationships—and specifically how they do it. What’s more, you’ll learn how to identify, recruit, and retain the highest performers to make sure that only A+ players are on your bus.
• CREATE A BREATHTAKING, INSPIRING VISION. Because great leaders develop big, bold, breathtaking visions, you’ll learn how to develop AND communicate a vision that’s perfect for your organization—the kind that creates meaning, commits hearts, and inspires action.
• MOTIVATE YOUR PEOPLE TO TAKE ACTION AND OWNERSHIP. Great leaders, like great artists, know how to breathe life and energy into big dreams. And by taking this course, you’ll learn how to communicate to create palpable momentum—the kind of forward-progress that exudes urgency and ignites the strength, stamina and stick-to-itiveness necessary to make great things happen;
• CREATE THE CONDITIONS FOR SUCCESS. Each night 95% of your organization’s most valuable assets walk out the front door—and it’s your culture that keeps them coming back. When you complete this course, you’ll know exactly how to create a healthy, high-performing culture—one that promotes performance, maximizes relationships, and delights customers.
• ACCELERATE SUCCESS.  To make work rewarding, your people need to experience the fruits of their labor. By completing this course, you’ll learn what the very best leaders do to make that happen. And through your team’s success, you’ll demonstrate to everyone around you—your colleagues, your customers, and your competitors—that you are one of those remarkable leaders who know how to get the right results, the right way™.

At the completion of this course, you’ll be on your way to becoming a much more skilled and effective leader; one that your organization and your people will be proud to have in that position.

GREAT AT WORK®: FOR MANAGERS

Specifically, when you enroll in DHI’s Great At Work® For Managers course, YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:

• BUILD RESILIENT, LOYAL, AND PURPOSEFUL RELATIONSHIPS—ones that are driven by longevity, respect, trust, meaning, and shared vision;
• FOCUS EVERYONE'S ATTENTION BY MASTERFULLY ESTABLISHING CRYSTAL-CLEAR EXPECTATIONS —the kind of shared priorities that create extraordinary ownership and ensure that there’s no confusion about what needs to be accomplished;
• IGNITE YOUR TEAM'S COLLECTIVE ENERGY TO MINIMIZE PROCRASTINATION AND CREATE PALPABLE MOMENTUM—the kind of progress that makes work exciting and fun; 
• FINISH EVERY SINGLE PROJECT WITH PRECISION AND PANACHE—recognize and celebrate everyone’s contributions and accomplishments while artfully redirecting attempts that fall short.
• THRIVE BOTH PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY—the kind of remarkable and satisfying growth that makes hard work worth it.

At David Hunnicutt Int'l, we believe that work matters. And, if you do it right, you'll look back on your career and you'll be proud of every single day you invested helping your people become Great At Work®

What’s more, we organize all content in the right way and in the right sequence. Last, but not least, we breathe life into every unit through story-telling and real-world examples.

Engaging and enlightening, our personalized assessments stimulate learning and motivate you to take action by providing you with an objective and accurate overview of your leadership capabilities.

Serious Skill-Building  

One of the most significant advantages of our courses is the emphasis we place on personal skill-building. By deconstructing each skill into small, manageable parts, we’ll guide you through to successful execution—and then we’ll help you burn that success deep into your memory so that you’ll be able to recall it when you need it.  

The best part about our skill-building approach is that it’s transportable so you can take it with you wherever your career takes you.

Highly-useful in everyday situations, we’re confident that you’ll keep them handy for months to come.

Candid and Customized Coaching

To further enhance your learning experience, all course participants are given the opportunity to participate in customized coaching sessions. Through positive, supportive, and transformative feedback, each session provides participants with even greater clarity, an increased sense of self-confidence, and a greater level personal commitment.

Personalized Planning and Ambitious Agenda Setting

At the conclusion of the course, you will be meticulously guided through a personalized, pragmatic planning process that will result in an ambitious and aggressive agenda of your next 100 days. Relevant, resonant, and instant, this plan will be your blueprint for taking your people, your organization—and your career—to the next level.

GREAT AT WORK®: It's Time To Liberate Your Leader Within

When it comes to your leadership, your impact, and your career, it’s time to start thinking bigger. 

You CAN be the leader you want to be. You CAN create the impact you know is possible. You CAN have the career you’ve been dreaming of.

But if you really want to master this craft, you’ll need to make some decisions. 

Sure, learning new leadership competencies and mastering new management skills can be challenging—but if it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.

And for those who successfully answer the call, well, they’re the difference makers. 

They’re the ones who are in demand. They’re the ones who are writing their own tickets. And they’re the ones whose people, careers—and organizations—are flourishing.
