Leadership: Making an Impact and Inspiring Your Organization Training

Leadership: Making an Impact and Inspiring Your Organization

Put aside the overhyped new frameworks. The critical leadership practices – the one that will allow a leader to make the biggest impact over time – are well established. They’re about how you create a vision and inspire others to follow it. How you make difficult strategic choices. How you lead innovation. How you get results. These fundamental skills are even more important today as organizations and teams become increasingly networked, virtual, agile, fast-moving, and socially conscious.
