Leadership That Pays Off: Building CEO-Level Thinking and Real Results

Too often, leadership programs stop at theory, leaving organizations without a clear link to measurable business outcomes. In this session, we’ll explore why leadership development needs a reset and how forward-thinking organizations are approaching it differently.

Drawing on real-world examples and emerging practices, we’ll examine what it takes to prepare leaders who can think like CEOs, make smarter decisions, and deliver results that move the business forward. In this session, Christine Hass, VP of Leadership Strategy at ELB Learning will discuss:

• Why traditional leadership programs fall short and the critical mindset shifts needed to close the gap between learning and impact.
• How leaders can practice real-world decision-making through simulations, coaching, and peer collaboration that mirror today’s complex business challenges.
• Ways to make leadership development measurable so investments translate into growth, innovation, and lasting competitive advantage.
