Common Sense Leadership for Leaders Who Don’t Feel Very Leader-y
Tuesday, Oct 23 9:30 - 10:15
Presented by Jesse LaveryWe are the doers. The makers. The creators. The problem solvers. The conjurers of awesome. Our work gets results and gets noticed. And then, the inevitable happens: because we do awesome work, we get promoted to be the managers and the leaders of other doers and makers. But rarely do we receive management or leadership training; we’re thrown into the management wilderness without a guide, hungry wolves at the ready. This is the presentation I wish I had when I was thrown to the wolves. We will learn common sense approaches to respecting and empowering your team, taking care of yourself, tools and tech to be most efficient with the extra management duties on your plate, and much more. Don’t feel very leader-y? This “maker’s approach to leading” is for you.
