Advanced Management & Leadership

The business environment has changed significantly since the recognition that a true “global economy” has become a reality resulting in mandated changes, along with new ways and opportunities to do business. Many organizations are encouraged to redefine their culture from a traditional “top-down” autocratic oriented management/leadership style to a more contemporary “integrative” and more “transparent leadership” culture. This change requires leaders and managers to be “facilitators of change”, to understand the important shift to knowledge management, succession planning, and developing emerging generations are in their scope of empowerment. Implementing a new culture often requires a new vision, new strategic priorities, skills, and processes.

The first step in the identification of a new culture requires a change in how we think and how we conduct business in the new culture. To successfully transform the future, we need to look at what challenges we face, identify the elements of leadership roles at all levels of the organization, to be certain all parts of the organization are in concert with the vision for the future and the required culture.
