Leading Business To Create Value
Course Description
The course Leading Business to Create Value focuses on how leaders create value for the organization and key stakeholders. Students will compare various "whole system" approaches to assessing organizations. Topics include strategy, values, norms of behavior, reward systems, decision-making and accountability, processes and systems, and the role the leader plays in managing and aligning those components to add value to the business. Dynamics within organizations, including those at a personal, interpersonal and organizational level, will be assessed. Various approaches a leader can use to align and focus and organization, such as strategic performance management or the Balanced Scorecard, will be considered for appropriate application and expected benefits to the business.

My Work
My Strategic Partnering Plan for Planet 13 aligns closely with the course's focus on developing leadership capabilities and creating value within organizations. By emphasizing the strategic utilization of partnerships, this paper illustrates how leaders can enhance operational efficiency and foster innovation, which are critical for adapting to the dynamic cannabis market. The assessment of both internal challenges and external opportunities highlights the importance of aligning organizational values with strategic goals, reinforcing how effective leadership can mobilize resources for increased market reach and stakeholder engagement. The practical strategies I outline for cultivating relationships with local growers, technology firms, and wellness brands demonstrate the real-world application of leadership theories and collaborative management practices. This approach not only prepares me for future roles in business but also equips me with the skills necessary to develop high-performing teams and drive sustainable growth in various career paths, ultimately contributing to the overall success of any organization.
