Rich Horwath

Are your leaders tactical or strategic? Do you observe conversations spiraling down tactical rabbit holes, constant reactivity to fire drills, too many priorities, unproductive meetings, or lack of strategic direction and alignment? Research with 60,000 executives showed that the number one leadership trait they consider crucial to individual and organizational success is being strategic. But only 23 percent of managers are considered strong at strategic thinking and planning.

In this interactive session led by New York Times bestselling author of STRATEGIC Rich Horwath, he will share a simple framework to help you and your leaders think, plan, and act strategically every day. We'll define what it means to be strategic and give you the opportunity to apply several practical strategic tools to your work. The result will be a clearer understanding of strategy and how to leverage strategic thinking skills to maximize your leadership performance.
