Michael Scott, played so cleverly by Steve Carell on The Office, is not the best role model. In
fact, sometimes he's painful to watch. He has good intentions, usually, but his people skills and
efficiency skills are lacking. He thinks he is a leader, but he's not.
Initiating activity does not make someone a leader. Proclaiming oneself the leader does not
mean one is a leader. Getting others to do things does not make someone a leader, at least not a
highly regarded one.
Leadership is determined by one's followers, and the eagerness with which they follow. It does
not matter what your title, salary, office location, car, or mother say. You are only a true leader
when others follow you eagerly and perform well because of it.
Perform Like a Champion develops leaders who drive performance. It develops savvy, not
stuffy, leaders. It develops leaders who inform, inspire, and influence in a way which makes
others follow them eagerly. It works because participants get feedback, unlike Michael Scott.
Perform Like a Champion employs a cutting-edge model which combines project management and training. Client organizations identify a
project for participating managers to work on during the three-day course. They take the project as far as possible over three days,
receiving feedback on their performance and training for development along the way.
Kelly Tyler created this unique development model and makes it available to clients who want to see financial results from their
development investment. Please contact Kelly for more information about the course, including an agenda.
If you have projects which require internal teams to work together beyond three days, consider using the High-Performance Project
Mentorship KTTS offers. HPPM is a new concept merging some aspects of PM with LD (Leadership Development). It was created by
Kelly Tyler for clients who have both needs but extremely tight timeframes, limited budgets, and fewer people available. Kelly helps internal
teams function effectively by giving a leader's perspective, and gives development along the way. HPPM delivers business results now
with an eye on the future.

"Thank you for the
wonderful day you
provided for our
Leadership Gardner
class.
We received many
positive comments,
especially in regards
to Communication
Skills and the "bucket
list."
The only "negative"
thing heard was that
the day with you was
too short."
