Effective leaders tap their team’s knowledge and skills to accomplish a common goal. They draw out commitments to achieve results. They have mastered the art of balancing two important factors: understanding and managing individual relationships while accomplishing the organization’s goals.

This becomes trickier during a crisis. Emotions run high, people are under additional stress, and the business can be experiencing huge challenges that require moving fast and discussing uncomfortable topics.

The goal of this conversation is to explore how successful leaders are navigating these unique times, including:

• Insight on how leaders apply five approaches: Compete, Collaborate, Compromise, Accommodate, and Avoid

• Learn how successful leaders balance people and tasks--maintaining sensitivity to people while being productive in a crisis

Target Audience: Newly-promoted to C-suite level leaders and managers

Delivery: 75-minute program includes descriptions of the five approaches and examples of both effective and ineffectual practices. Participants will break into small groups to practice.
