Foresight means seeing what’s ahead. Fast sight means responding to change faster than competitors. Learn how a leaders-as-teachers (LAT) approach improves these two essential characteristics of sustainable success. A formal LAT program develops leadership capacity to analyze and learn from failure; encourage discussion, debate, and experimentation; distribute wisdom deeper into the organization to strengthen alignment and execution; and create a culture that is open to learning. When leaders teach, they create environments to help teams discover, adapt, and respond effectively to changing business conditions.
Join Ed Betof, Lisa Owens, and Sue Todd as they share the growing body of research on the value of the LAT approach, proven pathways to start or restart a LAT program, and new success factors they’ve discovered at organizations such as Boeing, Procter & Gamble, and Merck.
