• Extreme Leadership From the C-Suite

  C-Suite executives have a unique leadership challenge: they live under a microscope; people watch everything they do. So much so that their decisions, actions, behaviors, and communications have a direct effect on the entire culture of the organization. That’s the good news. And, of course, it can also be the bad news. There are two sure-fire ways to change an organization’s culture. One, do nothing. And, two, do anything. That’s the very nature of a culture – it’s always evolving. For that reason, developing a good culture is like developing a good relationship–it requires constant attention and never-ending awareness from the C-Suite on down. In Extreme Leadership From the C-Suite, Farber draws on his proven methodology and multi-industry experience to help officers and executives inspire and energize the entire enterprise. The result? A corporate culture that attracts and retains the best talent, creates innovative products and services, and yields radical results.
