Leadership: What has Changed and Why It Matters
It would not be a leadership discussion without discussing the massive change we have experienced recently. In order to be effective leaders, we must understand the factors and trends that impact the people we lead in order to best serve their needs and the needs of the business. This creates a common sense of why leadership matters in the first place by answering the question - what problems should we as leaders be trying to solve??
In this session, we will look at data and trends and hear from our fellow professionals the challenges that we all face and why leadership can help us solve them.
Facilitator Jonathon McKay with PATH will lead these leadership sessions focusing on the most relevant challenges and opportunities for your business today. This is a very collaborative group that encourages peer-to-peer sharing.
