A critical component of a leader's role is to be able to understand their organization's strategic business goals, clarify and interpret these goals for themselves and their team and engage their employees to deliver results aligned to these goals. Good leaders know that clear alignment in these areas leads to results. They also know that effective storytelling can inspire and fuel employee effort. Together, clear alignment and effective storytelling become a powerful combination in a leader's toolkit.
This course enables leaders to learn a three-step process to connect their performance objectives to organizational goals, add value by embedding their personal passions and talents to enhance their commitment to achieving those objectives, and structure a clear and compelling story to mobilize employees to work in alignment with organizational goals.
