Managing Fear and Avoiding Paralysis in Organizations©

“If these are not difficult times for you and your organization, you are either very lucky, incredibly resilient, or out of touch with reality. . .
Leaders must get people to perform at their best when they feel their worst.”
David Morrison, MD

Read more about our new four-hour seminar on addressing fear, and other problematic responses of distressed people. This program is designed to develop pragmatic tools to bring one of the more shadowy aspects of leadership into the open to be managed competently.

A complete seminar description is located in the HSMN sub-section, under Resources.

Morrison Associates Can Help

A leader who has a healthy, well-grounded knowledge regarding how to work with people makes better decisions, and acts more effectively. We provide that expert knowledge.

Events

Morrison Associates believes we have a responsibility to bring interesting and practical information to people related to their work life. This information must have a sound scientific basis and integrate with the other areas of a worker's life, such as family, and self. Our events reflect this belief.

Understanding the Unethical Executive

The holidays this year will be different for many. The economy is on most Americans' minds, with many wishing and needing for it to improve. Private industry is cautious, as there are many legitimate questions about risk.

Fraud has been estimated to account for a significant percentage of GDP (trillions of dollars). Fraud in the senior management ranks is estimated to do 16 times more financial damage than fraud committed by entry-level employees.

On December 17th, we will be hosting a two-hour program on Understanding the Unethical Executive. We plan to share with you what to look for in those with whom you do business in order to not "bet the farm." Our two guest lecturers, Professor Kelly Pope of DePaul University, and Professor Harry Kraemer of Kellogg's School of Management will discuss factors that cause senior executive teams to cross the line.

Welcome to this first Winter Lecture Series at 10:00 AM on December 17th:
De Paul University O'Hare Campus: Room 205
8770 W. Bryn Mawr Avenue
Chicago IL 60631
