Creating a culture that embraces and adapts to change.
Attracting, hiring and retaining high-performing employees
Developing a pool of talented managers

Getting the whole company to understand and execute the strategy
Leadership IQ surveyed 2,000 senior executives to discover these findings.
Senior executives who've been stagnating in their jobs but are ready to leverage an improving job market may want to
take some tips from Executive Power Coach Deb Dib.
Dib suggests creating an executive brand with a strong and relevant value
proposition, covering all bases in the job search (not just
the Internet and/or executive recruiters), using one's network,
learning industry keywords and using them in resumes and
interviewing, proactively developing a job proposal
to break into a desired company, and joining professional
organizations and online communities, such as Netshare,
ExecuNet,
MENG, and
FENG. Dib also advises
developing a team of advocates who will sing your praises,
crafting a resume that shows your brand/value
proposition and Return on Investment, boosting interview
skills, as well as developing an online presence in groups such as
Zoom Info,
LinkedIn,
Ryze,
Ecademy, and
Ziggs. Finally, Dib encourages
execs to have an online portfolio with which to control their online identity and branding.
