Topic: Leading in a Tough Economy – How You Can Help Leaders in Your Organization

Speaker: Brian Zaas, The Forum Corporation

Program Description:

Business Challenge: With financial markets in turmoil today, organizations are challenged on all fronts. Leaders’ ability to execute strategy is impaired by many factors—some of them external. The good news is there are many factors within leaders’ control that they can address to help the organization emerge from an economic downturn stronger and more competitive than before.

Leading in a Tough Economy: Leading in a Tough Economy raises managers’ awareness of the business threats and opportunities in today’s difficult economic environment. We will share key development areas that will provide managers with an opportunity to take action that will sustain momentum in the downturn.

Our one-hour presentation will give insights into practical skills and strategies based on Forum’s Leading during a Recession research, and provide an overview of how leader’s in your organization can leverage an action plan for meeting their challenges and leading their team through turbulent times.

As Training and Development leaders, you will understand how leaders in your organization can directly impact your company's performance by focusing on a few key leadership areas. We will give you insights into how your leaders can:

• Create focus for your organization that builds on customer priorities
• Build cross-boundary collaboration to increase innovation and improve problem solving
• Manage the temperature to handle the emotional side of change
• Build an engaging climate to keep motivation and performance high
