SUMMARY:From Firefighting to Foresight: Problem Prevention for Strategic Leaders
DESCRIPTION:7775 Walton Pkwy\, Suite 100\nNew Albany\, OH 43054\nFriday 8/21/26\, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm\nBe ready to interact with our featured speaker\, Dr. Ted Sun\, and your fellow participants. \nEat. Mingle. Make new friends.\nMany leaders feel trapped in nonstop firefighting\, with days dictated by urgent emails\, crises\, and shifting priorities. Control over their schedule is limited\, stress is high\, and there is little space left for strategic thinking or vision. Despite everyone “solving problems\,” the same issues keep returning in new forms. \nThis TIGER Talk is designed to help leaders break that cycle by shifting from constant problem-solving to true problem prevention. You will learn simple\, practical ways to spot patterns early\, address root influences\, and design processes and systems that reduce recurring issues instead of feeding them. The focus is on freeing up time\, energy\, and attention for what really matters\, while developing problem preventers. \nAttendees will leave with a clearer sense of control over their work life\, a practical lens for preventing recurring problems\, and at least one concrete change they can implement immediately to reduce workplace stress and create more time for strategic thought and long-term vision. \n*************** \nDr. Ted Sun is an internationally experienced organizational strategist and leadership expert who equips leaders to break free from nonstop firefighting and lead with greater foresight\, clarity\, and control. Drawing on two terminal degrees in psychology and business management\, plus more than two decades of work with leaders across business\, education\, and global institutions\, he helps organizations shift from reactive problem-solving to systemic problem prevention. \nDr. Sun has led large-scale startup and transformation efforts in higher education\, including building two universities from the ground up and helping shape additional academic institutions through strategy\, organizational design\, accreditation\, and global partnerships. His practical\, research-informed approach empowers leaders to reduce recurring issues\, lower workplace stress\, and create more time for strategic thought and long-term vision. \nA published author and featured expert in outlets including Forbes\, NBC\, and ABC\, Dr. Sun brings both depth and practical insight to the challenges leaders face today. \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this talk is FREE.\n11:00 am – Coffee\, Snacks\, & Socializing \n11:15 am – Lunch & More Socializing \n11:45 am – Introduce yourself to our crowd (10 seconds please) \n12:05 pm – Hand-off to Dr. Ted \n1:00 pm – Wrap & Resume Socializing \n\n\n                \n                        Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    First\n                                                    \n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                            Last\n                                                            \n                                                        \n                            \n                        Email*\n                            \n                        Company*Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.
