Description:

​

With rapidly changing times and today’s highly interconnected and increasingly complex world, the defining characteristics of a leader in today’s world have also demanded a change. The hierarchical model simply doesn’t work anymore, and it has been replaced by learning organizations that are filled with knowledge workers who don’t respond to “top down” leadership. In response to these changes, a new generation of leaders is reshaping the best-led global companies. Their approach is not shareholder, customer or employee first; it is people first. Modern-day leaders view leadership as more than the behaviors, traits, and styles of individuals; they view leadership as a property of any social network.  No longer solely the domain of those “in charge,” leadership is something in which everyone participates. Our Modern-Day leaders distribute their leadership powers to those who have the will, skill, ability and desire to lead.

 

Come join us for a day full of learning, sharing and networking as we engage in discussions around what it actually takes to be a Modern-Day leader and the various facets of leadership.
