Strengthening General Management to Drive Business Growth
General management can make a decisive difference. The experience of thousands of companies shows that a change in leadership can mark a turning point for the organization. At its best, it can make seemingly impossible achievements possible – ultimately translating into stronger business results.
Leading an entire organization is a demanding role. It requires the ability to understand complexity, make bold choices and positively influence others, combining sound judgment, courage and interpersonal skills. Above all, it means taking responsibility for both the successes and the failures of the people you lead.
This program helps you identify your strengths and areas for development and supports your growth as a leader, while strengthening your ability to contribute to the success of your organization.
This program will enable you to:
- Understand the business as a whole, moving beyond a single-function perspective and recognizing the interdependencies between strategy, performance, organization and people
- Make complex strategic decisions, setting priorities and allocating resources while balancing short-term results with future competitiveness
- Turn strategy into execution, mobilizing people and the organization while leading innovation, change and transformation
- Strengthen your ability to lead the business, effectively managing relationships with the Board, shareholders and stakeholders, while understanding the impact of AI and emerging technologies on the role of the General Manager
Is this program right for you?
This program is designed for entrepreneurs, Managing Directors, General Managers, CEOs, CFOs, Business Unit leaders and senior managers with significant responsibility for the organization or the business.
It is particularly suited to managers transitioning from functional leadership to a General Management role who want to develop a broader perspective on the business and strengthen their strategic, decision-making, organizational and leadership capabilities.
