In Outlook on Leadership, our president Dan Wyant shares his insights on leadership gleaned from more than three decades of managing entrepreneurial and conservation organizations. In the Second-Stage Sensei section, Dino Signore discusses a variety of challenges — from building infrastructure to scale and developing senior managers to keeping employees engaged.

In addition to these short videos, we also offer longer, more in-depth learning modules especially designed to help facilitators run CEO roundtables.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Outlook on leadership” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23dd9933″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1522420335749{margin-top: -15px !important;}”]By Dan Wyant[/vc_column_text][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”29″ style=”pagination” items_per_page=”4″ element_width=”3″ arrows_design=”vc_arrow-icon-arrow_01_left” arrows_position=”outside” arrows_color=”pink” paging_color=”pink” item=”13407″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1522420941101-540d8f8c23b97803821e23124e43e94c-4″ taxonomies=”274, 275″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1522420980726{margin-top: -45px !important;background-color: #f4f4f4 !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/244830961″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1522245090282{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Second-stage Sensei” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%23dd9933″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1522420664197{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”]Second stage is an important inflection point for entrepreneurs, says Dino Signore, the foundation’s manager of entrepreneurial education. On the plus side, second-stagers have a proven product or service under their belts and have attracted initial customers, so survival is no longer a daily concern. Yet as they strive to gain a stronger foothold in the market and win more customers, second-stagers now face more strategic issues, such as building infrastructure to scale, honing their competitive edge and expanding into new markets.
