Leadership, innovation, communication, and breakthrough performance are not limited to any one discipline. Great leaders can be found in business, labor unions, sports teams, and our military. For your next meeting, consider an all-star panel of top leaders from different disciplines who have changed the world by changing their organizations and fields. Get the most out of your panel by using a nationally-known moderator to coax insight from the panelists and create an understanding with practical implications for the audience.
For example, choose a business leader from the Leading Authorities roster of corporate talent: AG Lafley, former CEO of Procter & Gamble, who doubled P&G's market cap; Lee Scott, former chairman and CEO of Wal-Mart, who led the company's global expansion and leadership on issues like sustainability and health care; Gordon Bethune, former CEO of Continental Airlines, who remade the company vaulting it from worst to first; Carlos Gutierrez, former CEO of Kellogg's, who took great brands, made them better, and expanded the company around the world; or Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi, who has done pioneering work in helping companies make emotional connections with their customers.
Choose a top military leader like: retired General Stanley McChrystal; former CIA Director General Michael Hayden; General Tony Zinni; or General Dan Christman, who finished first in his class at West Point!
Consider an iconic labor leader like Andy Stern, the former president and CEO of the Service Employees International Union, who led a resurgence of labor in the hospitality and service jobs sector.
And don't forget leading sports coaches and legends like Pat Riley, Mike Ditka, Don Shula, and Stan Kasten.
Once you have your all-star panel, choose a prominent moderator to ask the right questions and facilitate a program with real learning potential. Charlie Rose, Joe Scarborough, Alexis Glick and Forrest Sawyer are just a few of the savvy moderators we frequently work with.
