TEAMWORK
Thursday, October 25, 2012
Ed Bernbaum and
Jerry Garfield, principals of Peak Paradigms: Leadership & Teamwork
(www.peakparadigms.com), draw powerful paradigms from celebrated mountains
around the world to help you develop the full range of leadership and
team-building skills needed to succeed in today’s global marketplace,
paradigms such as:
- Mount Everest — a paradigm for setting and attaining goals that will
stretch your organization and motivate people to do their utmost
- Mount Sinai — a paradigm for transforming your organization through
instilling a sense of calling and service
- Mount Fuji — a paradigm for building strong teams and resilient
organizational cultures
Their presentation—filled with spectacular photography and compelling
stories, and accompanied with a hands-on training exercise based on one of
these paradigms—provides you with practical lessons and experiences to take
back and use in your work and everyday life.
