Enterprise Leadership

High impact education for senior leaders

Recent research has revealed that fewer than 2% of all senior leaders had an enterprise perspective.  Few were seen as being able to lead internal operations, people, and external client-facing operations (or other important external groups).  The 2% who were perceived as being able to lead all three were considered key high-potential talent.  In another recent global study with a large consumer goods company, leaders who were exceptional at getting financial results, engaging employees, and growing tough markets were also found to be better at balancing their listening and asserting skills, having strategic conversations, building coalitions of people to foster change, coaching for performance, and developing psychological safety at work so people could do their best.  The Enterprise Leadership program is designed to help prepare a select group of your employees to master these elite skills.
