Janelle Brittain: Program Outlines
Managing the "Tuff Stuff" of Leadership A Strategic Leader needs to be able to see the invisible, and deliver on the impossible. Leadership in today's world needs to tap into every aspect of the human capabilities... from a keen visionary mind, to insightful communications to a combination of Machiavellian patience and a well-paced sense of urgency. This requires strategic thinking to see the opportunities with the greatest potential and leading the available resources to achieve the goal in record time.
