The single most critical issue facing senior-level executives at this time is navigating the complexities of today’s business challenges in a world dominated by global competition that is increasingly fueled by technological innovation.
Old management precepts collide with lightning fast changes that push organizations to make critical decisions in the absence of certainty and clarity. Yet focus, resolve, courage, a steady hand and confidence are necessary elements of decision making.
Providing effective and consistent leadership in an ever-changing complex global environment is a tremendous challenge for a senior-level executive regardless of industry or experience. As leaders, they provide vision and inspire people to want to perform. As managers, they provide the roadmap and resources that allow people to deliver performance. Both require excellent communication skills and the ability to manage interpersonal interactions. Highly effective senior-level executives are good at both leadership and management.
