Leadership is critical to the advancement of good corporate citizenship within and beyond the boundaries of your company. You may be leadingyour company’s transition toward strategic integrated corporate citizenship; or you may be trying to take a specific component of your company’s corporate citizenship strategy to a new level. This program will help you understand and strengthen your ability as a leader so that you can engage and influence others to achieve improved organizational alignment, broader buy-in across the organization and, ultimately, increase long-term business and social value.
Leaders with corporate citizenship responsibilities encounter common challenges:
- Developing innovative, high-impact corporate citizenship initiatives that support the business
- Engaging colleagues across the firm and at all levels - including executives - in the development and execution of strategy
- Demonstrating and communicating the value of corporate citizenship initiatives
- Expanding high-performing programs, whether regionally, nationally or globally
- Aligning programs with other corporate citizenship initiatives
- Navigating organizational transitions such as mergers & acquisitions and CEO and direct supervisor transitions
