In this session, we’ll examine the tools that leaders need to guide actions and decisions that are consistent with what your people, customers and investors believe to be your strategy. Bringing your values to life helps institutionalize them. It is a process that includes modelling what “Exceptional Leadership Looks Like” and ensuring leadership consistently communicates expectations throughout your organization.
