Tackling Senior-Level Challenges
Welcome from Dr. James Browning, PhD.
Today and for the foreseeable future, as a senior leader you are asked to lead your organization in a world that is unlike anything anyone has ever experienced.
In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic and for the foreseeable future most organizations are going through continuous churning—accelerating digital and technology disruptions, changing workplaces (remote, hybrid, onsite), changing business models, and reinventing themselves. This is combined with the urgent need to expedite digital transformation.
The crucial truth is leaders advancing to the senior level are struggling—many are failing and losing their tenure. Those assisting senior leaders are also struggling in their efforts to be valuable supporters. Why is this happening? The primary reason—they are unprepared for the unique roles and responsibilities of senior leadership and the strategic challenges they face.
My purpose in creating the Browning Leadership Institute is to help set you up for success at any leadership level, but especially at the senior level. Based on extensive senior leadership experience, teaching and coaching senior leaders, and discussions and formal interviews with more than 200 successful CEOs and officers of Fortune 500 companies, secretaries of major government agencies, executive directors, university Presidents, and Admirals and Generals, I offer blogs, white papers, articles, and videos that provide essential insights, senior leader anecdotes, and practical actions to help you find the keys to the necessary knowledge, power, and motivation to reach the senior level, grasp the leadership reigns, and thrive.
I wish you well in your leadership journey. I welcome your feedback.
Sincerely, Jim

"Embracing Senior Leadership is a great leadership book. If you want to lead a leader- ship seminar or teach a course, use it as a syllabus and lecture guide."
