What is the Cross-Functional Executive Reputation course about?
In multi-site programs, impact isn’t just about results, it’s about how those results are perceived by executives, peers, and stakeholders across silos. Without a deliberate approach to cross-functional reputation management, strong performers risk being seen as isolated contributors rather than strategic leaders. Misalignment, inconsistent messaging, and low executive visibility erode influence, even when outcomes are strong.
