Managers face numerous challenges as a result of the constant pace of change, whether it's new business models or the latest technological innovation threatening to disrupt an established industry. Too often, these changes are viewed as threats, but the best organizations are able to seize the opportunities in each situation with the right analysis tools, the ability to think strategically, and an understanding of how to communicate and implement the necessary organizational change. Many organizations lack the ability to quickly adapt their strategy in order to respond to or anticipate the effects of strategic change.
This Leading for Strategic Success course will show you how to correct this by ensuring your leadership has a genuine impact. You will gain a better understanding of your primary leadership responsibility of making sense of external events, deciding how to respond, and leading your people to success.
You will investigate the power of tried-and-true concepts, methods, and tools to help you think strategically about your industry, organization, partners, and competitors as a whole. You will shift your focus away from the technical, operational, and managerial challenges that many managers are more familiar with and toward the real leadership challenges that you and your organization face.
You will learn how to identify and remove barriers to success and how to deploy a complete strategic management system to make the right changes effectively and quickly to deliver strategic success.
