Leadership in the food industry has never been more critical given the significant and rapid shifts in consumer preferences, our complicated global supply chain, and the myriad of global teams and suppliers who rely on performance excellence to ensure a safe and sustainable food supply.
This webinar offers a transformative learning experience that will empower food industry participants to unleash their potential, and that of their organizations, to deliver extraordinary results. Participants will learn how to identify their own unique opportunities to increase their personal effectiveness, as well as specific approaches to accelerate progress in their organizations.
Although the practice of transformative leadership is universal in scope, this webinar will draw from personal, practical experience within the food industry, including a case study of Sunny Delight Beverage Co., identifying trends and highlighting the need for innovation.
Learning objectives:
- Examine the unique role and responsibilities of food industry leaders in transforming the culture and results of an organization.
- Demonstrate the power of Servant Leadership – Putting people first and expecting them to be extraordinary.
- Introduce practical leadership approaches that compel and empower participants to move their organization beyond the constraints of the past and to the next level of performance and fulfillment.
