Leadership from the Magician's Perspective- Challenging Assumptions and Gaining New Perspectives

CEOs can enhance relationships and lead more effectively by applying the philosophy and tactics of professional magicians.

A good leader must be able to influence a team toward a common goal. Without the support and buy-in of the team, even the best-laid plans are destined for failure.

Magicians are masters of influence. Using physical techniques and psychological principles, expert magicians can create an atmosphere where anything is possible. The expert leader can put these same techniques and mindsets to work in order to empower a team and influence them for a common good.

This session will help you:

• get different perspectives on the people and issues in your organization
• approach problems from new angles
• question and challenge your assumptions
• build better relationships
• redefine what’s possible
• examine the power dynamics within your organization
• learn a piece of magic that communicates a message, then teach it to your teams in order to empower them with ‘secret knowledge’

TEC members will get an insider’s view into the thinking behind world-class magic and see how magicians work with the audience to create an experience of wonder. They will then apply the tactics and philosophy to their own leadership challenges in order to create better connections in order to influence and empower their teams.

TEC members will receive a handout summarizing the key topics discussed.
