Passing The Torch – Successful Leadership Transition in 90 Days
Consider this question:
"Who will be in charge of your company when you are no longer there?"
You'd prefer not to think about this, or if you do, you believe that it is a concern for tomorrow, not today. While this is the most common approach, unfortunately it is one of the worst. When you do not prepare for the future you are putting your company at risk. You are endangering the lives and livelihood of every single person who works for your company. You've spent far too many years to leave this up to chance!
How do you plan to prepare for leadership transition in your company?
Yes, the obvious answer is the last one, but most companies are not in a position to honestly choose that one. Without a plan in place, the experience can be grueling, stressful, and excruciatingly painful for everyone involved.
I've seen far too many transitions devolve into chaos and sometimes ruin for the company involved. Because of this I've developed a leadership transition blueprint that any leader or potential leader could follow. This is a series of three 90-minute webinars together with worksheets, resources, and tools that will provide the foundation to guide you smoothly and successfully through any transitioning position: the CEO, a bulk plant general manager, a long-time office manager, or even a dispatcher wanting to retire.
Total Credit Success
Good credit maintenance is one of the most important aspects of any successful Petroleum Business. Even miniscule shifts in your credit rating can mean big changes to your bottom line. Complicating this situation further, fluctuating fuel prices and volatile market forces are changing the credit landscape.
If you’re not yet prepared for the coming credit crunch, your business will benefit from Meridian’s Total Credit Success. This one-of-a-kind webinar covers the latest techniques to help your business thrive throughout the current and pending credit changes. Total Credit Success is an online program consisting of three, easy-to-access 90-minute sessions available 24/7.
