Leadership Insights: An Executive Briefing

On June 5, 2013, 70 leaders came together in Des Moines (Iowa) to learn more how Work of Leaders can enhance their leadership programs or be a part of the groundwork for a new program. This book that is based around the framework of Vision, Alignment, and Execution and what that means for your organization.  Julie Straw, a contributing author, spoke about how the book was formed off research data and other text books ranging from classic to contemporary.  

 

The goal of the Work of Leaders is to take the classroom experience that has been so valuable for thousands of leaders and introduce the Vision, Alignment and Execution model to an even broader audience.
