Corporate Matchmaking: Target the Right Culture to Unleash Your Potential
A company's culture is the most powerful determinant of its future. While often "invisible" on paper, an organization's ideas, decisions, and relationships emanate from organizational culture. The most successful executive transitions, therefore, hinge on ensuring the best fit between an individual and the organizational environment.
In this seminar, participants will learn how to assess a company's culture, evaluating it for strengths and liabilities. Individuals will also consider the impact of their own leadership style and value system on their fit and satisfaction in past roles, enabling them to select the right opportunities in the future.
