Are leaders born or made? It's a false choice. DNA and experience both play a part, but successful leaders keep learning, building new skills and finding ways to use all their traits to make a positive difference. They know they can be wrong and stand out by learning from every setback and opportunity.

This 60-minute webinar presents seven strategies for CEO and executive success, illustrated with case studies of successful leaders from many fields.

You'll look at setting direction through vision, mission, strategic planning and execution, turning mission into daily decisions, living shared values, communicating in every direction to lead change, admitting mistakes quickly, using conflict constructively, and planning for risk and the unexpected instead of firefighting.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Leading an organization means constant pressure from inside and out, with its direction and survival resting on your shoulders. If you're driven to build success with a team pulling in the same direction and committed to growth and self-examination, this session helps you make these lessons part of your own vision, mission and values.

It suits CEOs, vice presidents, executive and managing directors, managers, supervisors and leaders at any level.
