As political leaders meet to discuss the world’s financial crisis there are two things they will be focusing on, problem-solving and decision-making. That’s what leaders do, they solve problems and make decisions.
Yet, many business leaders lack effective problem-solving and decision-making skills. Despite having a Masters’ Degree in Management I never learned these skills until I was placed in a leadership role and had to figure it out for myself.
Whether you are an experienced organizational leader or an emerging one, you will learn something during the upcoming webcast on Monday, November 17th at 2pm Eastern Time.

During this webcast we will explore how leaders often mistake a simple decision-making situation and label it a problem, which costs valuable time and money while creating undue stress in an organization. Additionally we will discuss how to transition from a problem-solving situation to one that becomes simple decision-making .

The Last Lecture

A little over a year ago I jumped on the bandwagon of the viral express that was The Last Lecture of Randy Pausch. If you are not familiar with it I encourage you to check it out at this link.
It’s very inspirational and tells the story of Professor Pausch’s strategies for achieving childhood dreams. He gave this lecture after receiving a terminal diagnosis for pancreatic cancer. After a hard fought battle Pausch passed away in July of this year.
I recently downloaded his book from Audible.com, “The Last Lecture” and have been listening to it the past day or so in my car and feel its a story that should continue to be passed on.
So, after you view/listen to The Last Lecture please come back here and post a comment about what your are taking away from it and its value. Then, you may also want to pass it on.
