Business Conversation
Nav C Course Title.png

Navigational Conversations provides organizational leaders with the skills to unlock the talents and problem-solving abilities of others.

A major challenge faced by many organizational leaders is their own tendency to be hands-on problem solvers. This skill may have contributed to their promotion to management, but it can easily become a limitation. Effective leaders know that their primary role is not to solve problems but to unleash the problem-solving capacity of those around them. Until they gain this skill, they are functioning as "worker bees" instead of leaders.

Why You Need This Program

  • Many of your managers are doing too much hands-on work themselves.

  • There is untapped potential in your workplace and you want to harness that potential.
