of Leadership Development, Slone Partners

Your lab’s corporate culture can have a serious impact on
its success. Without a culture that promotes teamwork, accountability
and productivity, you’ll spend a lot more time solving problems
than achieving your goals.
To be sure you’re fostering the kind of culture your lab
needs to survive, and thrive, in today’s competitive environment,
join The Dark Report for an audio conference that will
help solve many of the cultural problems that you and other laboratory
leaders are facing right now.
Our panel of experts will provide you with ideas, strategies,
tips and models that can help shape your culture in new and exciting
ways—and that you can start implementing as soon as the
conference is over. Best of all, you’ll have the opportunity
to ask your own questions and get answers directly from two of
the most knowledgeable people in the industry.
Don’t miss a minute of this presentation. Mark your calendars
and register today to attend, “Using Your Lab's Culture
To Turbocharge Productivity And Profits” on Tuesday, May
6, 2008 beginning at 1:00 p.m. EDT (10:00 a.m. Pacific). Learn
what steps you can take (and which ones to avoid) to create an
organizational culture that encourages success.
