NEXT LEVEL LEADERSHIP: SIX KEY SKILLS FOR SUCCESS

 
Next-level leaders bring more to their organization than their peers. Next-level leaders are recognized as strategic human assets who are indispensable - and next in line for promotion. This practical and engaging session teaches techniques that allow leaders to see around corners, anticipate the next big things, lead teams to achieve challenging goals, and make wise decisions that hold up in situations of uncertainty and volatility. Participants sharpen skills in forecasting, learn how to pick key issues and early signals from a flood of information, reduce uncertainty to manageable levels, think in the future tense, and multiply intelligence through structured collaboration. Participants will build their own executive scanning system, learn the best questions to ask in uncertainty, and practice making wise decisions with incomplete information. The key skills participants learn in this session, added to operational expertise, will enhance their influence and value to the organization and their colleagues.

He's served as top-rated leadership faculty for industry programs in financial services, agriculture, food, information security, and government. His clients include Berkshire Hathaway, Motorola, Hilton, the Federal Reserve, Gillette, ExxonMobil, American Express, Syngenta, US Gypsum, and the National League of Cities.
