Organizations rely on effective leadership and teamwork for their success and often invest significant resources to develop both. This warrants pausing and asking the question “Are we focusing on the right things in order to get the best return on our investment?”
Using a Harvard Business Review article as the foundation of her talk (The secrets of great teamwork by Haas and Mortensen), Dr. St. John will integrate key content from leadership literature and practice to present the critical few elements (or “secrets”) that can make the difference in your own development and your organization’s learning system. The discussion will challenge some of the more traditional notions regarding where to focus your efforts.
Dr. Cynthia St. John is in the business of simplifying success for senior leaders and their organizations. She teaches that success, while not necessarily easy, is not complicated. In addition, best of all, it can be learned.
As a researcher, Dr. St. John applies her Ph.D. in educational psychology (with specialization in adult and organizational learning) to understand the factors most directly responsible for high performance.
As a practitioner, Cynthia leverages her 20+ years of change agent experience with NASA/United Space Alliance, MD Anderson Cancer Center, the University of Texas, ExxonMobil and other distinguished organizations, to execute and refine the key skills and systems that create high performance.
As a former executive in roles such as vice president and Chief Learning Officer for one of the largest health care systems in Texas, and one of the largest faith-based systems in the country, she draws on personal experience as a senior leader to ensure her methods are practical and reliable.
Combined, these roles and experiences uniquely contributed to the development of Cynthia’s expertise in applying proven models for executive effectiveness and organizational excellence.
