This special peer-level roundtable forum will explore executive leaders’ cross-industry experiences and perspectives to formulate actionable approaches in three critical areas of challenge: • making high-stakes decisions in high-pressure VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) environments • leadership behaviors that can strengthen your influence and trust quotient during adversity or crisis • overcoming resistance to your leadership role; your ideas, opinions, or viewpoints; or your exercise of authority in various stakeholder situations. Through facilitated discussion, peer exchange, and expert insights, participants will engage in candid conversations, share real-world scenarios and lessons, and explore practical strategies for navigating these complex organizational dynamics.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Identify practical approaches for making high-stakes decisions in complex, high-pressure environments.
