• How Everest Kills Leaders: The Dark Side of Goal-Setting

  Big-picture vision is vital, but making it count means turning that vision into clear, measurable goals. This engaging talk shows corporate leaders how to redefine success with targets that their teams can see and strive for every day. You’ll discover why there’s truth to the saying “you can’t improve what you don’t measure,” and how the best leaders use a scoreboard mentality to drive focus and accountability.

As a leader, you’ll learn to avoid common goal-setting pitfalls – from chasing vanity metrics to setting impossible targets – and instead set meaningful metrics that track progress toward long-term performance.

  What you’ll learn: How to craft goals that inspire and energize, align team efforts with organizational vision, and build a culture where every win (and even each loss) becomes a stepping stone toward sustainable success.
