Managing the Google Way: Leading for the Future
The leader of the future knows there is more to being a leader than longer hours and greater responsibility. Becoming a leader is a whole new role and demands a new mindset. In addition, there are certain critical behaviors that top managers exhibit more than average managers. What got you here will not take you to the next level. How can you develop the growth mindset and become a multiplier of talents? How can you express yourself clearly, listen empathetically, give helpful feedback, coach and develop your team, and even inspire others?
Above all, you must choose and develop your mindset and role: whether to be a manager or a leader, a cog in the machine or an artist, lord of your fiefdom or nurturer of talent.
This program is based on the essential qualities of a leader as identified by Google in a wide-ranging study of their own managers. It is designed to help new managers develop the mindset and behaviors of an effective manager quickly and efficiently, while preparing them for a disruptive future.

He practiced law in the United States for more than ten years, arguing before judges and political, government, and community bodies. He knows how to persuade the toughest audiences.
