LEADING IN TURBULENT TIMES

Trends in business, the implications for leaders,
and implementing change to address business conditions

The global recession has had serious implications for employers in the northwest region of Pennsylvania.  Although there are several elements that contribute to stabilizing and thriving in this economic climate, the center of success is leadership.

With this workshop, it is our intent to deliver contemporary, pertinent and thought-provoking ideas on leadership.  We also want to use this time to hear from you and explore how we can better respond to your current needs.
