Team-Based Decision Making & Execution
Presented by RC Caldwell
Leadership is all about guiding the direction of a team, a division or the entire company. Leaders need to make high-quality decisions and ensure the entire team executes effectively. This virtual event will provide strategies for making high-quality decisions that aren’t diluted by an over-emphasis on ‘making everyone happy’ or being perceived as ‘nice.’
APRIL 15 – REGISTER HERE
