Let's move beyond supervision and management and talk about leadership. Anyone can be a leader. Leadership opportunities abound everyday, in different settings, and in different ways. It neither favors introverts or extroverts. How will you use your personal strengths to lead with agility in times of change and disruption?
Culling from a number of presentations and CE courses taught by the presenter, the webinar will start with the difference between leadership and management. Following is an examination of the traits of a good leader and what will be required of future leaders. The session will conclude with some thinking about seizing leadership opportunities and practicing leadership skill every day.
