BrightSight Group speaker and author, Bill George will be presenting 7 Lessons for Leading in Crisis for HSM Webinars on August 19th. Click here for more info on registering.

Bill George is professor at Harvard Business School where he teaches leadership. He was CEO of Medtronic from 1991 until 2001 and chairman from 1996 to 2002. Under his leadership, Medtronic’s market capitalization grew from $1.1 billion to $60 billion, averaging 35% a year.

Overview:

Leaders Are Developed through Crises

The economic calamity of 2008-09 was not caused by subprime mortgages, credit default swaps, or even excessive greed. These are only symptoms of the real problem. The root cause of the problem was failed leadership from leaders who didn’t follow their True North–the internal compass of beliefs, values, and principles that guide you through life.
Staying on course is much easier when things are going well. But will you do so under the enormous pressure that comes with a crisis? Can you stay focused on your True North in the face of temptations to bend the rules to get through the crisis? How will you respond when threatened that everything you’ve been building for years might be destroyed?
