“Leading Organizational Excellence by Avoiding the Top 10 Leadership Mistakes” will be at the Clay Center. Go to the Walker Theater entrance at the back of the building. 

To reach new heights of organizational success, comprehensive leadership strategies must be an integral element of the company’s vision. Leadership is critical to the success of this vision becoming the organization’s mission.  This interactive session details the Top 10 leadership mistakes that can cause irreparable damage to leadership’s credibility and integrity thus quickly derailing any career and the organization’s strategic initiatives.

Through true life experiences, we will discuss the consequences of questionable leadership mistakes such as:

• The failure to embrace diverse thinkers and mavericks.
• Too much talking and not enough walking.
• Failing at communication.

Leadership is having the passion and ability to influence others to reach new heights.  Critical decisions must be addressed impacting corporate restructures, acquisitions, joint ventures and mergers. Unfortunately, mistakes can be made along the path that can damage the credibility of any leader resulting in failure of the organization’s mission, vision, goals and strategies thus tarnishing its culture.  By embracing proven behaviors and competencies outlined in this session and avoiding the Top 10 Leadership Mistakes, we are better prepared to lead the next generation of global talent to unlimited opportunities.
