PEARL WEBINAR
April 24th 2021
Overview
This 10 session webinar series will provide insights on effective leadership without direct control or authority. As organizations move to increasingly matrix structures and adopt project / strategic initiative models vs. traditional functional models, this ability to lead through influence will become key to success. We will interview very successful leaders that have proven track records of navigating this type of change and have not only been there and done that, but have also coached other leaders to make this shift.
