Building Your Arsenal of Effective Influencing Tactics
By Nila Betof, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer
& Susannah Cobb, Manager of Operations
 In any organization, team, department or group of people who come together to reach a common goal, there are people who emerge as leaders. What separates those who merely 'get the job done' versus the leaders who inspire, motivate and advance tough, important initiatives? > Full Text

It's Time for Rational and Collaborative Leadership
by
Peter J. Dean, Ph.D.
At a time when the world faces economic confusion, with much of the blame being put on a lack of ethical executive leadership, we must comprehensively re-examine our notions about leadership. The 'one best leader practicing a fear-based, command and control type of leadership' model of leadership is seriously flawed and has serious gaps in its practice. This leadership model holds leadership captive by a few executives who often hold other leadership positions hostage to the highest bidder. Often those highest bidders will demonstrate that they will do whatever it takes to get the job done even if it violates short-term or long-term ethics and brings harm to others. > Read More |

Client Perspective
Michele Dorris
Project Director
The Dow Chemical Company
Why did you decide to enroll in the KPMG Executive Leadership Institute for Women? There are two reasons why this program appealed to me. First, I wanted an opportunity to invest in my own leadership development. I think it is important to continually add knowledge to my own leadership tool kit. Furthermore, it has been a wonderful networking opportunity. Though I had spent time with Molly Shepard and Peter Dean at various events or other social settings, until now I never had the opportunity to learn from them in a course setting. Because I knew about The Leader's Edge/Leaders By Design and the work that they do, I was very interested in being a part of this program. > Read More |

The KPMG Executive Leadership Institute for Women in partnership with The Leader's Edge/Leaders By Design
One area in which organizations are frequently making cuts during difficult economic times is in leadership development. Unfortunately, the development of the company's most important asset - its people - is curtailed because it is often not perceived as having direct impact on the organizational bottom line. It is also common during these periods of economic uncertainty for top talent to get recruited by other companies. So it is very important that key high potentials and high performing leaders are attended to.
