The Best Leaders are Yet to Come: Who are They and How Will We Know When We See Them?

The Baldrige community has something that no other leadership community has: established, proven leaders who have led national role-model organizations to become honored high performing, results-driven, Baldrige Award recipients. But what is it about them that separates those leaders from most other leaders? What predictive analytics can we use to “know them when we see them” (or — better yet — to learn from and emulate them)?

Dr. Kenneth Cohen, founder/CEO of The Synergy Organization, will facilitate the discussion on Thursday, January 23: “The Best Leaders are Yet to Come: Who are They and How Will We Know When We See Them?”.

Dr. Cohen will share the results of his evidence-based national research that reveals the unique leadership characteristics of CEOs and Presidents whose organizations have received the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Come explore what the best of the best leaders are doing to lead their organizations — insights we all can use to improve our own leadership effectiveness.

This session is Thursday, Jan 23 from 8:00-9:00 CT (optional networking and mingling 7:45-8:00) using Zoom MEETING. Grab your coffee and breakfast, and join us for a rich discussion. Free for PEN/WCPE members; $20 for non-members.
