==========
How do you execute a strategic initiative that has a long-lasting impact? Do you know how to effectively communicate your strategic approach, gathering input and support from key stakeholders? When your decision is scrutinized by shareholders, media, and the public, how do you anticipate the feedback and manage the delivery?
Public sector leaders face unique challenges when it comes to making strategic business decisions. If not thoroughly planned and executed, these decisions have real consequences with high stake outcomes. What can we learn from world leaders and experts in the public sector that had to make these monumental decisions? And, how can you create a high performing team to successfully execute strategic ideas?
In Strategy Execution for Public Leadership, former Pentagon Chief of Staff and Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Global Security Eric Rosenbach will lead you through real-life public sector challenges to illustrate how purposefully developed public strategies lead to long-term adoption and success.
By studying decisions of key public leaders, like Former United States Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, you will better understand how to develop strategies that not only align with your organizational goals, but also gain insight into the challenges and scrutiny that come along with making public decisions. Too often, public strategies fail because leaders don’t think about execution, which is made up of leadership and management tools, as well as a team who anticipates all scenarios prior to putting your plan into place. Through global case studies and protagonist examples, you will explore topics that set you on a path to strengthen your public leadership, including resource and budget planning, talent recruitment and retention, strategic communications and crisis management, and risk planning and mitigation tactics.
By the end of this course, you will not only have the tools to create a sound public strategy, but also know how to test and optimize your strategy, increase competitive advantage, and sustain long-term impact and success.
