Don’t Be That Boss: Applying Hard Learned Lessons in Leadership

There’s a saying that people don’t leave companies, they leave managers. CultureAmp data also points to the importance of a company’s senior leadership on employee engagement. You may have already had the good fortune to experience a great manager or great company leadership, or the misfortune to experience the opposite. So how can each of us strive to be better leaders for our teams and our companies?

For over 25 years, I’ve worked with a variety of leaders and witnessed many different styles. I've learned what leadership approaches work well, and which ones are less effective or even damaging to an organization. When I started leading teams, I made mistakes of my own and learned from them. In the process, I have developed my own leadership style which has led to success for my teams and helped me retain people across companies.

I’ll share stories about the lessons I’ve learned and the style I’ve developed. We’ll talk about leadership anti-patterns and how to avoid them. I aim to give attendees new tools for effective leadership and a healthy work environment.

I plan to have audience participation and leave time for Q&A. If you’ve got questions about becoming a leader, getting to the next level, or dealing with bad leadership, please join us!
