Contributors at all levels in the team look to their leaders for direction and clues about how the future will unfold and how they can add distinctive value to the organization and ensure its success.
Strategic Leadership Workshop provides leaders and managers with the skills and tools they need to successfully capitalize on the forces and events that shape their world, allowing them to become architects of the future within their area of responsibility.
Leaders and CEO learn how to strategically position their Business-within-the-business (function, department, or team) by creating their own unique, stand-alone strategy that aligns with and supports the organization’s overarching strategy.
The workshop helps leaders see the big picture and find new ways for their team to contribute maximum value over the long run by operating from a more-strategic point of reference while still delivering on today’s expectations.
This program offers a unique learning experience for senior leaders to work with other top business leaders from a variety of sectors and contexts and see positive progress on live business issues of strategic importance to their organizations.
