The Signature Experience
Break Orbit: Achieving Long-Term Growth in a Short-Term World
You’re under pressure. You have a bold vision for your successful company. You want to be the disruptor and achieve transformational long-term growth. Yet many of your stakeholders may be pushing back, focused on short-term results. The clock is ticking.
It’s tempting to push forward despite resistance. But even the most compelling vision may not be enough to drive real stakeholder commitment to moving in a new direction. Persistent conflicts can keep your company circling in an orbit of the status quo, at risk of disruption by nimble competitors.
What’s the secret of breaking orbit to achieve transformational long-term growth? It’s the ability to embrace three leadership paradoxes that can naturally emerge in uncharted territory.
In this powerful keynote, go behind the scenes with Pam Harper as she shares the “break orbit” story of a top leadership team facing a major turning point on their company’s growth journey. You’ll discover how embracing these often hidden leadership paradoxes can work to your advantage.
Come away with practical insights you can apply to your own company’s growth and a model for embracing pushback, strengthening commitment, and igniting game-changing results.
Are you ready to break orbit for long-term growth?
Demystify the Tangle of Knotty Dynamics During Transformational Growth
Additional Signature Offering
As the world keeps changing, what does it take to reimagine your company’s future – and bring it to life? Even the savviest directors and CEOs can experience a gap between their bold vision and mission and the often “mysterious” responses that stakeholders can have to transformational growth: persistent conflicts, stubborn attachment to the current way of conducting business, and missed opportunities. This can create an “orbit of the status quo” (circling around being busy but not moving forward) that can put your company at high risk of disruption.
At the core of these knotty dynamics are three leadership challenges associated with moving into uncharted territory:
- Facing open and hidden pushback to a bold vision for the future
- Committing to a vision clouded with uncertainty
- Accelerating momentum for transformational growth filled with complexity
In this highly interactive session, Pam Harper guides participants through a case study and peer conversation to “untangle the knot” of human dynamics and discover hidden opportunities for igniting game-changing growth
By the end of this session, your audience will:
- Recognize the “Three Growth Igniters® Paradoxes” associated with the leadership challenges of moving into uncharted territory
- Discover a strategic model for demystifying the tangle of knotty dynamics
- Identify a starting point for applying the model during transformation
