Topic:How Firms Can Create a Mighty Leadership Team
At the core of the most successful companies is a stellar leadership team. With such a mighty team in place, firms can deliver profitable growth, year after year, in good times and bad. However, when even one member of the team is dysfunctional, companies cant hope to have a dream team. They dont have the luxury of a large leadership team to support weak links in the executive chain. This presentation drawn from four of the chapters of the Robert Shers book, Mighty Midsized Companies: How Leaders Overcome 7 Silent Growth Killers.
CEOs of companies who tolerate dysfunctional leaders weaken their businesss ability to avoid and fight off seven silent killers of growth.
This talk reveals the underlying issues that causes company leaders to accept a mediocre leadership team and how to counteract them. A collection of great leaders does not make a team. Robert Sher will explain why the way those leaders communicate, meet and plan determine the issues they discuss and how well they resolve them. Robert also explores role definitions, visibility of results and approaches to creating accountability.
What you will learn:
Why dysfunctional leaders are tolerated, and how to counteract it
How a leadership team can set the ideal communication cadence
How to institute crucial planning and project management disciplines that keep the team in sync
How to hold leaders accountable in a positive yet firm approach
