Ram shares insights from his experiences in leading teams at organizations like Walmart, Nokia, and Airtel as they faced seismic strategic changes, volatile business environments, and unprecedented operational pressures. “There are common leadership themes that emerge for successful teams in the midst of these challenges which have helped them be resilient and grow stronger. Over the years, I have had the incredible opportunity to learn through my personal failures and success stories.”

Join us as we explore these common themes and discuss the value of leading disruptive change!

Who should attend? Free webinar is open to the public.
