Lippold Strategies

Leadership

Leadership is a skill that must be practiced and honed every day.  Using a devastating suicide terrorist attack as a backdrop, Commander Kirk Lippold’s “Five Pillars of Leadership” is used by organizations across the country to build on a foundation of integrity to create an environment for inspirational leadership in the crucible of an unforgiving business world.  Learn how the leaders in any company’s organization can develop that same sense of ownership and seize the opportunity to be responsible for their future success. These are must-have business tenets for any team.

Crisis Management

Crisis management expert and proven leader, Commander Kirk Lippold takes his experiences from the military to the boardroom as he reveals lessons learned while leading the crew aboard the USS Cole following a devastating terrorist attack. These critical steps demonstrate how any organization can detect, react to contain and then control crises, assess progress in defining a new normal, and measure successes moving forward.  These leadership and management techniques arm corporate audiences with a military-grade approach to prepare for and take action when crisis strikes — because it’s not a matter of if, but when.

National Security

Business teams must understand how to adapt their strategy to take advantage of key aspects of our economy to influence national, state, and local government policies and regulations.  Commander Kirk Lippold reflects back on his experience in command of USS Cole to look forward, offering candid insight into today’s ultra-competitive business environment.  Today, leaders must know how to highlight the contributions their organization makes to the nation’s security.  Total success lies in knowing how to shape the legal and policy debates.  These insights can make the difference when it matters most.
