Discover How Entrepreneurial Leaders Create new Space in a Crowded market™ Challenging Times & Managing Challenges Where: RELC International Hotel - 30 Orange Grove Road, Singapore When: 11 & 12 May 2012 (9.30am to 5pm) Seminar Introduction How Entrepreneurial Leaders lead in tough times? In today’s ever changing and often turbulent economic environment, you are facing challenges that your predecessors would not have been dreamt about. How do you ensure that you have the leadership tools and strategies on hand to ensure you come out on top? Leaders foster collaboration and build spirited teams. They actively involve others. In the current turbulent economic times and uncertain business conditions, leaders need to know how to maximize the potential in their employees, while motivating them to improve business results. Every staff member is unique, with different talents, different aspirations, different needs, and different motivations. Even these will vary at different phases of their lives. CEOs worldwide unanimously agreed that the candidates they were receiving into their businesses were not capable of the CEO’s prime requirement; Creative Thinking and Innovation. Every day we are faced with challenges that can be dealt with creatively, yet most of our employees are not prepared. Instead of thinking creatively, they rely on rote learning, safe, risk-averting practices hoping to produce the same results they have always had. They may use their creativity at home on hobbies or with friends but in the workplace, they seldom do so. Everyone possesses huge potential for creative thinking that generally goes unused in our workplaces. These potential reside in human traits, skills, abilities and tools that can be develop to greater innovation, creativity and success.
