Disruptive Leadership: Innovative Mindsets for Success
About the class
Disruptive innovations – those shifts from traditional, “right” ways of conducting business to seemingly new radical approaches - have become daily challenges for businesses around the world. Research tells us these disruptions will not be letting up any time soon and in fact, have become the new normal.
In this webinar, senior executives and managers are challenged to navigate the world of constant disruption by developing six key mindsets that can disrupt their own business-as-usual approach to success.
Participants will gain insight into:
- Sharpening strategic focus
- Identifying assumptions toward making better decisions
- Moving from “boxed” thinking to “spectrum” thinking
- Developing “horizon 3” thinking
- Leading others to shift their mindsets
