MCAI Speaker Series: Leah Gutmann - Getting Better and More Impactful Results

During this hands-on workshop participants will explore decision making from both the team and strategic perspectives. To lay the foundation, the group will explore their own decision-making styles and analyze how it impacts the way they make decisions in various situations. In order to improve a person’s decision-making process, we must first explore how poor decisions are often made and the long lasting results it can lead to. Once we have laid the foundation, we will work on improving our team decision process and learn how to get the best decisions and results for your groups. Finally, the class will focus on making effective strategic decisions at the team and company level. The group will learn the benefits of strategic thinking and making decisions that lead to long term success and accomplishment of goals. Making good decisions leads to impactful results and improves morale and accountability.

Audience: Anyone involved in making team or strategic decisions.

Fee: There is no cost for MCAI Members to attend.

Registration Deadline: November 9, 2020
