What is leadership? Who has this magical quality? How do they get it? Are leaders born, not made? Why do they seem to choose someone else, or take someone else's advice over yours? This session is designed to help managers and senior staff better understand the nature of leadership so they can both practice and teach/coach key leadership principles throughout their organizations. Leadership is primarily a verbal skill involving vision, forward thinking, and strategy. Managing is making and exceeding goals and helping people at lower levels achieve or exceed their individual potential. This session unlocks, explores, and illustrates eight crucial communication ingredients of leadership.
