BENEFITS:
Change is unrelenting. The world shrinks. Organizations grow. Technology advances and margins retreat. Customer expectations rise as prices fall. Competition soars while budgets plummet. Never has the demand for leaders been greater or the supply lower. Leadership is not management. Most companies are over-managed and under-led. For those who choose to lead, the journey is exciting, rewarding, risky and transformational. This program draws upon some of the world's greatest leadership minds including Kotter, Bennis, Kaplan, Christensen and Covey as well as case studies from the world's top business schools. Participants will learn , or re-learn, what it takes to truly make a difference through transformational leadership.
