There have been more books written, seminars given and attention paid to leadership than any single area
of business.
The Self Propelled LeadershipSM workshops I have put together for corporate and
organizational leaders are rooted in the work of many who have come before as mentors and teachers.
Self Propelled Leadership is a result of my 40 years of successes and failures as a business owner,
executive and

corporate consultant. The work- shops reflect my understanding that while people go to work
for organizations, they continue working for human beings. It is the personal bonds of mutual respect,
trust, shared values and caring for the whole person that cement the foundations of enduring relationships
and enduring organizations.
All of us who run businesses have two bottom lines. There is the financial bottom line by which we
measure our business success. And there is a personal bottom line by which we can measure our
human success. The personal bottom line is made up of the people we touch in our professional lives and the
impact, positive or negative, we have upon them. Contrary to the belief of some, these two bottom lines are
closely connected.
Ever Higher suggests that a company leader's first obligation is not to the financial bottom line but rather
to growing one's self and the people within his or her organization. The fact is, that if you are attracting,
retaining and connecting with talented, conscientious, enthusiastic people, positive bottom lines - both
personal and financial - will follow.
The Self Propelled Leadership series of three workshops takes the organization's executives and
managers through an examination of a leadership model based on personal and
profess- ional transparency, humility-based leadership, personal accountability and the
commitment to growing one's self and others.
Benefits of Self Propelled Leadership for the organization are:
Strengthening Recruitment
Retaining Key Staff
Improving Performances
A More Transparent Organization
Relief For Leaders From The Loneliness At The Top
Goals of the workshops for participants is to have them leave:
With A Desire For Continuing Personal And Professional Growth
Having Confidence In Decision Making
Teaching Through Modeling
Choosing To Be More Known
Strengthened Relationships Among The Members Of The Leadership Team
Ever Higher LLC offers the following workshops on Self Propelled

WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY:
"I thought the workshop was an extremely useful experience. Much like visiting another country or culture,
it illustrated how a change in perspective could be an important trigger to transforming conduct. While habits are like
the tracks of railroads, and appear permanent and difficult to change, this workshop showed why a change in direction
could be so important and what it took to do so."
"Easy to understand, well presented and very human."
"Bill shared ideas that will enrich our relationships, lives and businesses.
"It was truly a unique experience and one in which Bill's warmth and personal self-knowledge helped me a
great deal. It is helping me today in being a more empathic human being and a more successful professional at the
