Gies is hosting the webinar "Aristotle's Building Blocks: Skills for Developing as a Leader" featuring Professor Elizabeth Luckman and her father, Jim Luckman, on Thursday, June 23, at 1 pm CT.
Leading teams in today's world requires a new paradigm – one in which leaders create the conditions to enable effective problem solving within the organizational culture. In this webinar, we will explore what this paradigm shift should entail; how the new paradigm addresses the challenges of today's globally interconnected, fast-paced business world; and how to begin to implement the practice necessary to transition to the new paradigm for leadership. |
| iConverge 2022 |
Registration is now open for iConverge 2022, September 8-10! The theme for iConverge 2022 is entrepreneurial leadership. This is more than just being the person in charge.
