Become a Strategic Thinker (for Managers) - Registration Fee $75.00

Becoming a Strategic Thinker with Pamela Heffernan
Many managers today focus on what’s in front of them, the tasks that are “screaming” for attention. The outcome of this short-range, tactical approach can be missed opportunities and a frustrated team. To help drive results and ensure a high performing team, managers should apply a clear set of strategic thinking behaviors to their day-to-day leadership activities. This program will focus on discussions around these key strategic thinking drivers:

• Establishing a clear vision of success
• Creating alignment around the vision with each member of their team
• Anticipating obstacles and challenges and proactively put a plan a place
• Seeking and validating data
• Making sound decision decisions

Program Fee: $75.00 Institutions will be billed for registrants.
