Leaders and teams often become mired in “the daily grind.” To innovate, renew, and strengthen relationships, leaders need to periodically get offsite. Retreats provide the ideal setting to:
- Energize and enhance teamwork
- Assess the “current state” of the organization
- Recommit to mission and purpose
- Develop new vision
- Refresh strategy
- Address tough issues
- Learn new skills
The experience of working together in an offsite setting helps leaders embrace the change required to sustain a dynamic and growing organization.
