CEO Leadership Workshop:
Driving sustainable innovation and revenue growth

Do you intentionally introduce disruption in your organization? History continues to show that leaders who intentionally introduce disruption as a catalyst are more effective at driving innovation. As a result, they are better at creating new growth opportunities—Steve Jobs—when compared to CEOs who are great at solving problems for their people. Why is this important?
In an increasingly competitive world, many leaders seek simple solutions to complex issues. In addition, conventional wisdom says that CEOs should solve these complex problems. However, when you study the accomplishments of great leaders, you find that instead of solving problems, they disrupted status quo by creating problems for others to solve. With that strategy, they were able to rally support from others to fulfill a new future. Can you imagine what people thought when Steve Jobs said we are going to make the Walkman obsolete? Hence the iPod.
Now, why would anyone want to intentionally introduce disruption into their company?
Here are 11 reasons:
1. New products and services are created—increased revenues
2. It is a tool to drive innovation and new growth
3. Becomes a catalyst for new actions and causes people to collaborate as a team
4. People have to leverage one another’s skills and competencies
5. It creates an environment for learning throughout the organization
6. People are more likely to think outside the box
7. People are excited about challenges, when the common goal is understood
8. Staff and management develop new skills and competencies
9. The CEO can delegate more effectively
10. Team members learn to anticipate, not fear, the next challenge
11. Increases ability to attract top talent
In this workshop exclusively designed for CEOs, you will learn the Disruptive Leadership Model™ and how it can increase your effectiveness as an executive. While experience, skills and competencies are important, without an appropriate mindset to create a vision, foster strong corporate culture and manage change and chaos, corporations have not way of differentiating themselves in the marketplace.
How you will benefit from this workshop?
Assessment of self. You will develop tools to uncover thought processes, blind spots and behaviors that routinely derail you while executing new initiatives. You will develop strategies to keep yourself and the organization on track.
Transform your thinking. This workshop is designed to challenge assumptions about what is possible for your corporation. This workshop is filled with exercises and interactive conversations that will keep you on the edge of your seat. As a result, you will develop new perspectives about what is impossible, such that you are able to see practical ideas for structuring your enterprise and pursuing untapped markets.
Invent a new future. Through the Disruptive Leadership Model™, you will learn to implement structures to support initiatives that are beyond traditional goals and objectives. You will also learn effective ways to communicate the new future to all stakeholders.
Practice. This workshop requires participants to roll up their sleeves and take action. In a real world case study, participants will have an opportunity to practice the tools and leadership model in a peer-to-peer environment. That way, you leave the workshop with actionable plans that can be implemented the very next day.
