Session Description
Leading others can be a very challenging task. There's a lot of talk, theories, and philosophies about leadership out there; so much so, it's very easy to feel overwhelmed by it all. This session will get down to the nitty-gritty details of being a leader. Drawing on more than 30 years of leadership experience, Tic will explore the essential tasks and the most common temptations of effective leadership. You'll leave with a better understanding of what it takes to become - or remain - a healthy leader, the kind of leader people want to follow.
