In this chaotic and extreme age, business leaders must demonstrate an unprecedented level of passion, determination, foresight, dedication and fearlessness. People won't follow empty rhetoric, but they will respond to significant, meaningful and dramatic action. As an Extreme Leader, you need the ability to influence, the power to transform and the courage to change the world of your company, your customers and your industry. In The Radical Leap, Steve shows you how to use the LEAP framework -- Love, Energy, Audacity and Proof -- to do just that and radically improve your organization and your life.

RADICAL ACCOUNTABILITY:
Making the LEAP From Individual Contributor
to Extreme Leader

Target Audience: For Individual Contributors
or Organization-Wide participation.

Whatever the challenge at your company -- improving customer service, coping with change, inspiring transformation, improving corporate culture, recruiting and retaining great talent, building teamwork, fostering innovation -- it all comes down to this: someone has to do something significant and enlist others to help. Someone, in other words, has to take accountability. Someone has to lead. And it doesn't have to be the boss. Leadership, ultimately, has nothing to do with the title on your business card or your position on the organizational chart. It's about who you are and what you do to change things for the better -- regardless of your "place" in the company. In Radical Accountability, Steve will show you personal strategies for being the architect of transformation from any position or level in the company.

The Extreme Leadership Session:
Working Without a Net

Here's the idea: Steve's been in the trenches. He has 15 years of experience working with thousands of business leaders in all kinds of industries. And most of that experience has revolved around having open, honest and powerful conversations about the nature of leadership with his clients and then helping them to apply new ideas to their specific challenges. To put it simply: there is no script when you're dealing with your clients current business realities.

Now, the fact is that Steve delivers one amazing keynote speech. And he loves to do it. But the Extreme Leadership Session is a departure from the keynote-speaker norm, because there is no script. With the exception of a couple of principles to set the stage, there is no specific list of points to be covered. The audience will determine the course of the program. Right there. Right on the spot. And the program will develop according to the group's most pressing leadership needs and questions. As Steve says "THIS WOULD SCARE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF MOST PROFESSIONAL SPEAKERS. Take away their script, and you take away their net. And most speakers either don't like that, or, frankly, have nothing to say beyond the scripted word." Farber loves it, and so will you if you have the nerve to give it a try.

Here's the way it works:

• Farber sets the stage and proposes a few challenging ideas to the group. He briefly defines Extreme Leadership and talks about the importance of open dialogue.

• The audience -- which could be as small as 10 people or as large as several thousand -- forms into small "clumps" (that's a technical term), has a quick discussion according to Farber's guidelines and then generates One Important Question about leadership as it relates to their current work/life situation.

• Farber fields the questions (as many as possible giving the amount of available time and the size of the group).

• And away we go! Learning about the leadership principles that people need right now.

Audience Comments >>>

"Working with Steve Farber helped us to conceptualize and deliver a fresh message on leadership that really energized the audience to think about everything that is familiar in a very different way. Steve worked with us in advance to understand our company’s unique challenges such that he could weave them into his keynote message. The message itself was one that was simple; yet presented in a way that was engaging, and most importantly, real versus theory-oriented. Steve’s message of Extreme Leadership was full of energy. His unique talent to tell compelling stories with concrete lessons and real-world application made the time particularly well spent."
