9:40 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. | Bridging the Gap Between Senior Management & the C-Suite | |||
Many smart people progress in their business careers to senior management positions, but relatively few make it to the “C-Suite.” So why do some make it to the top level of the corporate ladders while others (many of whom are top performers) don’t make the jump? One of the country’s top business consultants and keynote speakers will focus on this topic, providing useful perspectives for two audiences: 1) rising executives who aspire to make it to the C-Suite and 2) Current C-Suite executives who are tasked with developing future leaders within their organizations. |
