Leadership
In past decades, particularly in “producer cultures,” professionals were given positions of leadership and authority because they were great “producers.” The top trader, the best surgeon, the banker that posted the most revenues or the lawyer that had the most billable hours were compensated with money, an elevated title and positions of leadership, without much thought as to whether the person was the kind of individual that could motivate and inspire others to perform beyond their own expectations. Yet, today, we find ourselves in an environment where a growing majority of the professional workforce are Millennials and Generation Zers who demand motivation and inspiration as table stakes for their performance in any environment. So, the question is, “What does it take to be an outstanding leader in today’s environment?” Join Carla Harris as she discusses the importance and the power of perceptions in the workplace, the key relationships that you must have in order to ensure your success, and the power of authenticity and its place in influential leadership. Attendees will walk away with critical guidance on the essential components of being a powerful and intentional leader, and the skills they must cultivate to do so in today’s day and age.
