California United Bank hosts Mighty workshop
Thursday, May 11, 2017. 11:30am – 2:30pm. Torrance, CA. California United Bank.
Avoiding Deadly Lethargy
Midsized companies with laser market focus and rapid execution capabilities can outrun bigger and smaller foes alike. Yet many midsized firms bog down, with projects taking months longer than planned, teams that get more excited about the free lunch than delivering high performance and confusion grips the firm at many levels.
This workshop explores the root causes of deadly lethargy at midsized companies, drawing from the first three chapters of Robert Sher’s book, Mighty Midsized Companies: How Leaders Overcome 7 Silent Growth Killers. Rich with examples, Robert explains how the most successful midsized companies create a culture of urgency and an uncommon respect for deadlines. He also explores why frequent changes to a firm’s strategy are destructive, and how to introduce new growth ideas without disrupting a company from its present course.
What you will learn:
- How lethargy develops in even the best midsized companies
- How get employees to meet deadlines without top managers having to become drill sergeants
- Keys to monitoring the performance of complex projects and making sure they are delivered on schedule
- How to make sure the CEO isn’t unwittingly contributing to corporate lethargy
- How to decide how much risk to take on big growth initiatives
