Overview

A recent study identified substantial differences among outstanding leaders, but noted that they all possess enhanced thinking ability, which allowed them to reach sound decisions and solve complex problems quickly and effectively. Power Thinking for Leaders will help you develop these advantageous skills and habits. You will sharpen your mind so you can react positively to innovation, respond quickly to challenges, and design and implement new intiatives.

This program has helped hundreds of executives from other organizations, ranging from the Federal Reserve to the Army War College, and from Merrill Lynch to IBM. It begins with the Yale Assessment of Thinking, an instrument administered to over 50,000 professionals, that provides confidential information on thinking effectiveness.
