Creating an Organizational Leadership Strategic Plan
According to MIT’s Sloan Management Review, today’s employees are 10 times more likely to leave “toxic” cultures and bad leadership than low wages. When employees describe “toxic work cultures” they are looking at the failure to support diversity, equity, and inclusion; workers feeling disrespected and overworked; along with unchecked and unethical behavior.
As we know, leaders are hired to inspire and motivate employees to emotionally invest and support the goals of the organization. As they bring their best versions of themselves to work, they’re more likely to remain engaged, committed, focused, and fulfilled when helping their company reach its top priorities.
Executing leadership vision may be among the toughest core competencies for leaders to develop. To successfully execute your leadership vision, you must be able to define the vision, strategy, and tactical plan for your organization, and then effectively communicate it to your team in a way that engages and focuses them around a common goal.
During this two-day workshop, we will be creating an organizational leadership strategic plan. This is different than your normal strategic plan, and the execution of the plan will guide you in terms of DEI initiatives, future recruitment strategies and a strong framework to engage your current leadership team.
