What do you want others to say of your leadership during these challenging times? When the going gets tough, thanks to conditions such as dropping revenues and profits, mergers and acquisitions, re-organizations or shrinking pipelines, there is an opportunity for leaders to step up and stand out. It is also a time to step back for a little self-reflection on just what are the leadership requirements for this “new normal” of organizational life.

Based on over 20 years of experience working with such companies as Pfizer, Sanofi-Aventis, Biogen Idec and Boehringer Ingelheim, in both research and commercial divisions around the world, Lynda McDermott provides attendees with “best practice” leadership learnings and tools to help you and your people “stay in the game."
