Collaboration - The Future of Leadership Development

Leaders talk a good game when it comes to collaboration. They’ve watched competitors out-innovate them and suddenly get religion around cross-functional collaboration. So, they collect inputs from stakeholders and collect those inputs to make a decision, which then gets shared with the team. But that’s not collaboration.

In this webinar, we’ll outline the necessary components of training programs that bolster cross-functional collaboration, and those that don’t.

What Does It Take to be a Matrix Leader?

Has your organization restructured into something called a matrix or has it been a matrix for a while and you're now being asked to become a matrix leader but you're not sure exactly what that entails?

In this webinar, we'll walk you through what matrix leadership is and what it isn't and how to take the first steps in improving your leadership skills.

But that’s unnecessary!

Too Much To Do, Not Enough Resources
