We are proud to present a very special lunch on April 7 at Vlora Restaurant with
Professor Michael Useem. Professor Useem will be speaking on “Developing Your
Leadership.”
The intensifying competition and demand for high performance are pressing
organizations to become more flexible, more customer-focused, and more
fast-acting. Organizations are finding that such initiatives require effective
leadership and a supportive culture, and this has become all the more critical
in an era of greater uncertainty and change. The challenge is to build effective
leaders and well-led teams throughout the organization, and that requires a
capacity to think strategically and act decisively. Drawing on pivotal moments
were faced by company managers, corporate leaders – and even mountaineers on
Everest and firefighters in the wilderness – Michael Useem identifies what it
takes for thinking strategically and making timely calls when leadership matters
most, and what experiences are required by those who want to develop and master
that leadership.
Michael Useem is Professor of Management and Director of the Center for
Leadership and Change at the Wharton School , University of Pennsylvania . He is
author of several books on leadership and change, including The Go Point: When
It’s Time To Decide; The Leadership Moment: Nine True Stories of Triumph and
Disaster and Their Lessons for Us All; and Investor Capitalism: How Money
Managers Are Changing the Face of Corporate America. He is co-editor of Learning
from Catastrophes and co-author of The India Way (March, 2010). He has presented
leadership and governance programs with a wide range of companies and
organizations in North America, South America, Asia, and Europe.
