One of the key differentiators between good and great companies is leadership.
For most companies the focus tends to be on financial results, product development - and recently on juggling supply chain crises.
That leaves little time to think about leadership - let alone getting involved in professional development.
However as many of have learned, the value of having capable leaders at the top and middle level of your organization can be a game-changer - and often times a lifesaver!
Being a great leader sounds like a lofty concept, but it can be distilled down into a series of simple, actionable skills and tactics that once learned anyone can apply.
That’s exactly what April Sabral, founder of RetailU has done. She’s taken everything she’s learned during two decades of managing diverse retail teams around the world and codified her best tactics in a way that leaders - in retail or virtually any other industry - can use.
Today she’ll share what’s she’s learned, what worked best - and how a million dollar chocolate bar drove her team to achieving sales results beyond their wildest expectations.
