The Leader’s Horizon™
In a world where everything is urgent, our leaders are being drawn into a dangerous cycle of saving the day and pulling victory from the jaws of defeat. This ends in burnout for them and learned helplessness in their people. This entertaining and informative keynote turns that thinking on its head and provides clarity on how to elevate your focus to the medium and long-term and in turn help your team grow & develop.
Building Deep Alignment
Each person in your organization makes between 80 and 100 non-trivial decisions every single day. Add that up across your entire workforce, and that’s a huge dust cloud of activity. As a leader, you want to be sure those decisions align around the common goal of achieving your organization’s mission, but how?
In this informative and interactive session, Dave McKeown will walk you through a tried and tested process to ensure that every action that you, your team, and your organization takes adds up to achieving your shared goals. You’ll walk away with a complete plan for building deep alignment at every level.
