CG IS CHAMPIONING PROBLEM SOLVING LEADERSHIP™
Organizations add value by problem solving. To support that reality, Problem Solving Leadership (PSL) has been developed over the last 20 years to anticipate the fifth industrial revolution and the implications of a changing global landscape. CG helps market-leading organizations actualize change and improve performance by offering professional development programs in Problem Solving Leadership and Organizational Change Management (OCM).
PROBLEM SOLVING LEADERSHIP CONFRONTS THE CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINING EXCELLENCE
Problem Solving Leadership (PSL) has been challenged, proven, and acknowledged by academics, industry thought leaders and governmental agencies where sustained excellence is critical. Led by Dr. Jeffrey Soper, CG and ISBPI are bringing these essential skills into the workplace.
Management and leadership are forged from a common source – power. Management derives power from position while leadership derives power from the willingness of others to follow – positional power versus personal power. Problem Solving Leadership is the ability to influence others in the absence of positional power. Anyone can exhibit leadership – all it takes is developing the skills, recognizing the opportunity, and summoning the courage to act.
