Liz Weber will share how learning to think strategically is a critical skill for all employees – front-line to executive staff- when you’re working to create a strategic, flexible, and aligned workforce and

As a senior leader, you know the progression of skill development from strategic thinking, to strategic planning, to strategic leadership is imperative to your success. Leadership is an ever-changing process, but the key to knowing what skill to enhance or change and when to change requires thinking and planning – strategically. This
