Conquering Today’s Executive Challenges

Be a stand-out leader who gets the impossible done.Just when you think things can’t get any tougher, they usually do. Every day, the bar is raised as far as grueling executive challenges go—but who has the specific tools and skills to deal with them head-on, in the best way possible?

This seminar goes beyond those tried-and-true leadership legends to work through some of the most critical concerns facing leaders in business—like leading change in a tumultuous environment, getting an over-burdened workforce to work even harder and fostering an enterprise-wide mindset. Using case studies, individual and group exercises, you’ll learn more analytical and disciplined ways to approach your response to change. You’ll get insights and methods to help you do more with less, plus highly effective tools for knocking down barriers to the alignment your organization must have. Other topics no leader can afford to ignore—like innovation when the company has “more important things” on its mind—will also be examined through practical activities and thorough discussions.
