Joel Peterson will discuss many of the topics in his new book About this Event: Many leaders see their roles as presiders/managers, with a primary focus on keeping results consistent with past performance and on budget. These kinds of leaders make important contributions but rarely leave a mark on the organizations they serve. For those wanting to make a lasting impact and guide their companies through crises like the one we’re facing now, new skills are required. They need to learn to launch new initiatives, inspire others, and champion innovative approaches.
Joel Peterson calls these higher-level leaders “entrepreneurial leaders,” and they create durable enterprises that deliver on their promise. He will touch on the four essential components of the path to entrepreneurial leadership: • Establishing Trust • Creating a Sense of Mission • Building a Cohesive Team • Executing and Delivering Results so you won’t want to miss this webinar! |

Many leaders see their roles as presiders/managers, with a primary focus on keeping results consistent with past performance and on budget. These kinds of leaders make important contributions but rarely leave a mark on the businesses they serve. For those wanting to make a lasting impact, new skills are required. They need to learn to launch new initiatives, inspire others, and champion innovative approaches. Joel Peterson calls these higher-level leaders “entrepreneurial leaders,” and they create durable enterprises that deliver on their promise.
