Gary Harpst

Leadership is a discipline and like all other disciplines is based on applied knowledge. There are foundational truths leaders must understand to be effective, but ultimately that understanding has to be applied to bear fruit. In this session, Harpst moves leaders into the challenge of how to build a system of leadership that allows organizations to sustain growth and continue to execute. Without some system, all organizations outgrow their own ability to execute, what Harpst calls the execution paradox.

In this session, leaders will learn:

• What the execution paradox is and the forces behind it.
• The impact of people not obeying the laws of physics
• Key design requirements your system must satisfy.
• Six habits leaders must establish.
