Session Seven
Session Description
We’ve talked about the importance of taking ownership over your actions, but this does not create influence unless you establish trust with those you are leading. Once you find yourself in the middle of the difficult work of running and leading an organization, it becomes evident that it’s important to not only have the right tools and mindsets, but to also understand the importance of flexibility, integrity and adaptability in your role as a leader.
