How Midsized Companies Can Create a Mighty Leadership Team
Wednesday, May 18, 2016. Time: 9:30 am – 1:30 p.m. San Francisco.
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 seminar is drawn from four of the chapters of the Robert Sher’s book, Mighty Midsized Companies: How Leaders Overcome 7 Silent Growth Killers.

Many companies capture their strategies in a strategic plan and develop a budget for where the money should go. But sometimes during the year it’s not invested in the business at all, and sits in the bank, idle. Other times, it gets mis-directed. Having a strategy and a budget isn’t enough—there is a gap.
