Topics

  • Inspirational Leadership. Todd shows C-level executives how to go beyond formal relationships to build trust. He discusses why it is essential to be vulnerable and let your employees know who you truly are. Think about it -- would you charge up a hill in battle for a commander you don’t believe in? He shares insight into how to connect with the mission that drives you as a leader and communicate this mission authentically to your team.
  • Courageous Leadership. This topic is intended for organizations that need to motivate their lower level management to respond more quickly and decisively to unforeseen events. Todd shows how to encourage your lower level management to take greater responsibility and risks, and explains how this can transform your organization from a rigid machine into a resilient organism.
  • Leadership for the Future: Leading in a Complex and Uncertain Environment. This speech leverages the recent published work in the area of leadership for the future to promote new thinking for those currently dealing with complexity and uncertainty in managerial roles. Many corporate leaders have responded to increased uncertainty by avoiding many areas of leadership that involve risk, including innovation, empowerment and delegation, developing a leadership pipeline, and leading necessary change. In many cases, leadership for the future empowers the team to examine itself and its relationships with stakeholders, and to engage in thinking about how we can improve performance through innovation, coordination, and constructive conflict.
