March 23 - Leading from Wherever You Are (online)
You may be seen as a leader in your team, even if you don’t have leader in your job title. In addition to influence, leaders need to build positive relationships with others at all levels of the organization. Leading your boss is being aware of what is important to her/him, and helping to achieve the goals of your team. It’s easy when you have a strong relationship with your boss and much harder when you don’t. You gain the respect of those you supervise when you coach and guide them to being their best. Helping to build your peers and building a relationship of trust a way to lead sideways. Join us on March 23 for this online workshop. To learn more, click here.
