Testimonial
"The Critical Thinking program has allowed me to look at both problems and opportunities in a whole new light. It was a perfect tie-in with the Executive Negotiation Workshop and Strategic Persuasion programs. Wharton has outstanding programs, outstanding professors. I use the skills I learned every day."

Focus on: Redefining Leadership
Business runs on leadership, but leadership today demands broader perspectives, more flexibility, and deeper knowledge. In this issue, we look at how executives are redefining leadership. We examine how a new program on high-potential leadership uses "crucible stories" to recognize core strengths. We explore how Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter is building leadership in his new administration, and how a top financial executive at UPS has found multidisciplinary insights crucial to her leadership. We offer a free chapter of the new book, Ultimate Leadership, and a variety of upcoming programs that can strengthen and redefine your own leadership.

Ultimate Leadership
To succeed, leaders must understand and apply the core principles of leadership — but that's not enough. You need to shape your approach for each unique situation. Too many leaders don't know how to do that — and that's why they fail. This is the message of Russell E. Palmer in his new book, Ultimate Leadership: Winning Execution Strategies for Your Situation.
