London, UK (PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- Dr. Harvey A. Robbins, licensed psychologist and award winning author of "Why Teams Don't Work" and "The Accidental Leader," will be leading a no cost Web Seminar on Leadership And Team Building on November 15th. With him will be UK NLP Master Practitioner, Rich Elwell. They will discuss and field questions on the failure of leadership in the areas of team building, change management and building productivity and, how organisational failure is costing businesses millions.

Teams fail for many reasons. Mostly because they don't spend enough time or energy clarifying their goals, roles, barriers, structure and interpersonal issues. But the biggest barrier to team success is leadership failure.

For the first time in over twenty years, Dr. Robbins is combining his expertise with that of Rich Elwell, a noted High Performance Coach and NLP Master Practitioner to explore leadership failures and provide a goldmine of practical information in a leadership skills workshop designed specifically for the UK business community. The one-day workshop, Hidden Secrets of the Best Leaders, will be held on January 18th, 2008 in Worcestershire, UK.

But, before business leaders decide if they are interested in this workshop, they are invited to attend a zero cost one-hour Webinar where Dr. Robbins and Rich Elwell will talk about a few of the hidden gems that will be covered in the Hidden Secrets workshop. In addition, they can submit questions ahead of time and get their answers during the Q&A session.

Dr. Robbins brings years of experience working as a personnel research psychologist for the U.S. government (CIA) and in executive leadership positions with Burlington Northern and Honeywell to his role as a presenter. In addition, Dr. Robbins is a Fellow at the Executive Development Center at the Carlson School of Management of the University of Minnesota.

It is often assumed that if someone is in a leadership role, then they know what they are doing. Nothing could be further from the truth. Often leaders are in their positions because of tenure...not skills. And they're too embarrassed to admit that they are lacking. They often feel inadequate and hope that no one notices.

There are only two reasons for leadership failure: lack of skills and lack of motivation. "I can't help a leader who is not motivated to succeed. I can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. But, I can help those leaders who want and need some polish to shine brightly," says Dr. Robbins.

Leaders will be able to improve the performance of subpar teams, motivate others effectively, build empowerment, and positively impact the bottom line. Dr. Robbins will lift some of the weight from their shoulders.

"The best leaders are the ones who seek to continually improve their leadership skills sets," says Dr. Robbins. "They stop putting up artificial barriers to their success and learn to overcome their natural shortcomings to get other people on their side."
