SVELC hosts Mighty Presentation: How Midsized Companies Can Create a Dream Leadership Team

Thursday, August 18, 2016.   6:30pm.   Palo Alto, CA.    Silicon Valley Engineering Leadership Community.
How Midsized Companies Can Create a Dream Leadership Team

At the core of the most successful midsized companies is a stellar leadership team.  With such a “mighty team” in place, a midsized firm can deliver profitable growth, year after year, in good times and bad.

However, when even one member of the team is dysfunctional, a midsized company can’t hope to have a dream team.  They don’t have the luxury of a large leadership team to support weak links in the executive chain.  This presentation is drawn from four of the chapters of the speaker’s book, Mighty Midsized Companies: How Leaders Overcome 7 Silent Growth Killers.  

CEOs of midsized companies who tolerate dysfunctional leaders weaken their business’s ability to avoid and fight off seven silent killers of growth.

This talk reveals the underlying issues that cause midsized company leaders to accept a mediocre leadership team and how to counteract them.  A collection of great leaders does not make a team.  Robert Sher will explain why the way those leaders communicate, meet and plan determine the issues they discuss and how well they resolve them.  Robert also explores role definitions, visibility of results and approaches to creating accountability.

What you will learn:

  • Why dysfunctional leaders are tolerated, and how to counteract it
  • How a leadership team can set the ideal communication cadence
  • How to institute crucial planning and project management disciplines that keep the team in sync
  • How to hold leaders accountable in a positive yet firm approach
  • How to insure that acquisitions and operations are well-led
