The keys to the c-suite go beyond your promotion; success now depends on working well with a new team of seasoned players. Turf wars or differences in perspective based in various backgrounds can stall your company from achieving its goals. Most leaders have become successful for their ability to think and work independently and they are used to telling others what to do and comfortable with that process. But as part of the c-suite, you are suddenly working with peers from vastly different disciplines to agree on strategy and timing with interdependencies when you’ve been used to leading your own organizational silo.
One solution to making the transition a smooth one is through understanding how to drive team alignment and allow peer feedback to drive you. Influencing others while also accepting guidance from them can build a more open and productive environment in the c-suite. Establishing this kind of a learning culture may be the most important gift you can give your organization to set it up for future sustainability and leadership development. This webcast focuses on effectiveness of a top team and how its members can help develop others, and be developed by others, in order to drive top team performance.
Don’t miss these takeaways:
- What unique secret drives c-level team performance, and has for 5,000 years.

Presenters

Don has been accused by a NY press agency of providing "the most provocative and sensational view of business than any other speaker today." What else would you expect from an MIT and Johns Hopkins researcher who was nearly arrested as a capitalist spy in the Soviet Bloc, got shot off an aircraft carrier, survived in the Kurdish capital as the Ayatollah held hostages in Tehran, and developed missile inertial guidance systems while his frat brothers took Vegas (later portrayed in the movie "21")?
Don Schmincke's irreverent humor and unconventional methods provide audiences such a refreshing change to other status-quo topics that he's been called the world's "management renegade." His patent-pending offerings transcend typical programs via refreshing alternatives to trendy theories, unproven methods, and phony "experts." The industry agrees:
• Renown books "The Code of the Executive" and "High Altitude Leadership" (with NBC Emmy-nominated climber Chris Warner)
• Published in over 10 languages, endorsed by leading authorities and recommended by top business schools.
• Featured by CNN, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, MSNBC.com and more than 60 industry publications annually.
• Host: Executive Insights TV series and The Leader's Code radio program.
• Acclaimed as a Top 10 speaker for the world's largest CEO organization.
The high failure rates of pop-management theories drove Don's research using anthropology, evolutionary genetics, and physics to dispel the "program-of-the-month" syndrome frustrating CEOs and HR managers for so long. By using Don's biologically-driven leadership methods companies achieve accelerated results in sales, employee satisfaction, and cultural alignment. He admits, "out work is politically incorrect but scientifically accurate." Audiences love it!
Today, Don flies 200,000 miles annually speaking at conferences, training CEos in his workshops and working with clients from the Department of Defense (where he helped the U.S. Navy evolve its Fleet Readiness strategy) to companies across every industry including heath care, manufacturing, non-profits, distribution, technology, communications, finance, and insurance.
...and occasionally he can he found at universities inflicting his unconventional techniques on innocent graduate students.
