Overview:

Title: Problem Solving for Normal Leaders Without Fancy MBAs

What to Expect:

Every person, and every company, regardless of how polished and perfect they appear, have a laundry list of problems they need to solve.  Effective leaders must master the ability to solve their own issues, and in this session you will:

Learn a simple problem-solving methodology that all leaders can use
Practice using the methodology with your peers
Leave with tools you can implement in your business the very next day
