WHAT: May CEO Roundtable
WHEN: Wednesday May 13, 2015
WHERE: Merit Harbor Group, Tacoma
Globalization coupled with the ongoing increase in uncertainty and complexity is fueling the need for new strategies and ways of thinking if a company hopes to survive and thrive in these turbulent times. This is impacting all types of companies - big and small - and regardless of industry or location.
Most experts agree that increasing resilience in individuals and organizational cultures is one of the best ways to combat an unknown future. Fortunately, resilience can be taught and learned, as you will see from the many examples we will discuss during our workshop. It starts with leadership modeling the way and showing others how to embed this competitive advantage into the culture of an organization.
