Crafting Your Own Leadership Philosophy

The first step within any leadership journey is the exploration of what leadership means to you. Who are you, and what do you stand for? What is your leadership philosophy? Why do you want to be seen as a leader? In this interactive workshop, organizational effectiveness practitioner Scott Kennedy will offer introspective exercises that will explain how to define and authentically articulate and practice your leadership philosophy.
