F101: Leadership in the 21st Century – There is Nothing Artificial About It
*This conference session requires registration and payment. Click here to register/add session to your registration.
Growing into a better leader is a very intentional process, “it doesn't just happen; you make it happen." With all the hype and attention given to AI, collaboration and entrepreneurial atmospheres, I believe that strong leadership remains a very hands-on activity. This session will explore the three fundamental keys to leadership development and how there is no shortcut, even with all of our 21st century tools, books and consultants. ChatGPT cannot write it, a team cannot do it and a culture does not suffice. Leaders have to lead! And you can develop as a leader. Join us, you will come away with a freshly focused attitude, a strengthened commitment to accomplishing goals and a box full of tools/skills that you’ll need to use and/or develop.
