Managing Change
  Staying Results Focused During Turbulent Times. Your best sustainable edge is being better at mastering change than your competition. 'Change-master' companies excel because of two strengths. First, they see the danger of relying on yesterday's "winning formula" which is really a disguise for resisting change. Second, they know how to minimize resistance and create positive momentum for change. Topics covered include: getting "committed" buy-in for change, curtailing blaming, instilling ownership, viewing uncertainty as a positive condition, staying focused on results despite distractions.

Leadership Dilemma
  Making the Transition From Too Much Management to the Right Amount of Leadership. As the pace and complexity of change intensify, every business must examine it's balance of management and leadership capabilities. “Management” deals with short time frames, details, eliminating risks, scrupulous rationality, and gaining compliance with existing best practices, in order to producing predictable results. Leadership emphasizes long term viewpoint, calculated risks, inspiring people's values, & reinventing strategies to prepare an organization for the future marketplace. Achieving the right balance leads to the blend of continuous improvement & strategic foresight that characterizes market leaders.

Sustaining Exceptional Performance

Techniques include: peak performance goal-setting, being value-driven, developing a “healthy disregard for the impossible.” Instead of flashes of brilliance, exceptional performers know how to cause breakthroughs by design, under any and all business circumstances.
