Intentional Leadership = clarity (knowing clearly where you want to go) + intentionality (taking consistent action to get there). Clarity without consistent action is daydreaming. Consistent action without clarity is wasted time and effort.

Just as the tools of successful mountaineering have changed and improved over time, so have the requirements of intentional leadership. Based on 33 years of working with organizations globally, teaching leaders and observing powerful shifts, Mark has identified three essential areas of focus for leaders in the world:

Inspiration: motivation to the power of purpose
Culture: creating an engine that sustains vision and values while achieving desired results
Emotion: designing and delivering positive emotions for customers and employees

In this program, Mark explains how five very different businesses use clarity of purpose and consistent action to flourish in their given fields. He shows how they have harnessed and successfully employed the three essentials in their practices and how it is possible to improve your own business dramatically by learning from these real-world examples.

“The Intention Imperative” is a practical, proven and engaging presentation based on the latest and best of Mark’s thinking.

How do you keep getting better when you’re already the best? Or what happens when complacency, outdated thinking or weariness stunts performance? What do you do when growth stalls, or when your team is working below its true potential?

THE ANSWER: You’ve got to pursue your true potential.

Today’s top performers and top companies often experience a crisis once they’ve moved into the number one spot. It is easy to become complacent and rest on past accomplishments while competitors are biting at your heels.

When you’re Number One, there is nobody to emulate. You either keep increasing your lead or run the risk of being overtaken by Numbers Two through Five.

Mark Sanborn has worked with many of America’s best companies. That’s because he has the ability to motivate and teach simple, proven and highly effective ways of thinking and doing that keep individuals and organizations moving forward and gaining new ground.

Not only has he learned from working with the best—some 2600 clients—but he’s learned what doesn’t work, too, and he can help you change your thinking and supercharge your performance.

As one of our leading thinkers, authors and speakers on leadership, Mark has focused on the true heart of leadership; What he refers to as little ‘l’ leadership. This—genuine leadership—is not conferred by title or location in the executive suite. It is leadership demonstrated through our everyday actions and the way we influence the lives of those around us.

Mark was inspired to write You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader: How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Make a Positive Difference by his encounters with the genuine, often untitled, leaders that make such a significant and positive difference at every level of our organizations.

In Mark’s keynote presentation of the same name you’ll gain valuable insights on how to develop your own leadership ability and the leadership potential of your employees. He’ll show you how to identify and develop the characteristics that define genuine leadership.

As a master storyteller, Mark has an unparalleled ability to communicate fundamental business and leadership truths through simple stories, anecdotes and humor. You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader is a message that will resonate with those who aspire to make a positive difference — regardless of title or position.
