"Leading your organization to a higher level requires not only a thorough understanding of exactly where you are aiming, but also the tools for driving performance and realizing your organization’s potential. It is rare to gather together with peers who have similar issues, to grapple with diverse leadership issues, and to work on a theory of change. For that opportunity alone, the value is guaranteed."
