Synopses & Reviews
The pressures on executives to succeed, both internal and external, are intense. They are constantly fighting to make sense of their changing worlds and to make the right decisions for themselves, their teams and their business.
Executive Advantage makes sense of the complexities faced by organizations, especially in the face of aggressive growth or, conversely, recession and downsizing. Any change presents challenges and it's the leader's role to tackle these head on. Understanding human needs, and what can happen when they aren't met (for example leadership and business derailment), is key to effective handling of change, conflict and executive "gremlins," the barriers and sticking points that can get in the way of optimal business performance. Leadership expert Jacqui Grey presents a 10 step solution for 21st century leaders who are looking to make a real difference.
