LEADERSHIP EXECELLENCE and ACCELERATED PERFORMANCE FOR ANTI-FRAUD PROFESSIONALS

After a rewarding 40-year career leading people and programs for Fortune 100 companies (Phillips Petroleum, Motorola, Intel Corporation), the Federal Government (NOAA), and academia (the University of Houston), leadership strategist, speaker, and award-winning author Donn LeVie Jr. has retired from speaking and consulting but continues to write books and provide short-term leadership influence coaching programs.

Retirement has taken him from Austin, Texas to the Blue Ridge Mountains of far northwest South Carolina.

Leadership influence is built on underlying values

My approach to leadership influence embraces three underlying and overlapping fundamentals that drive the essential core of presence-driven leaders:

Highlight Meaning and Purpose: Apply your highest personal strengths and talents to belong to and serve a greater good, purpose, or belief.
Encourage Participation and Involvement: Apply your greatest personal strengths, talents, and gifts with your work, family, friendships, and leisure.
Seek Fulfillment and Enjoyment: Apply as much positive emotion and coping skills to thrive in all areas of your work and personal life.

True presence-driven leaders can arise in your organization when individuals have created a core of trust and empathy that will enhance performance, influence, engagement, and value.

Develop a Curiosity-Driven Workplace

Research shows that those with inquisitive minds seek novel solutions to unique challenges. Nowhere is this truer than in fraud investigations where curiosity and a healthy dose of skepticism are two sides of the same coin. Fraud investigators won't detect many instances of financial deception if they don't use curiosity as a problem-solving skill.

The March/April 2024 issue of Fraud Magazine has my column describing how a curiosity-driven workplace can help with uncovering the real reasons behind many types of challenges, problems, and fraud investigations.
