Thursday, August 12, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. | In-Person | OPEN TO ALL!
Join the IFOB for our first in-person, open, educational program in over a year! Everyone is welcome - members, fellow employees and team members, future members - all! The world has changed in so many ways and there is a shift in leadership especially for the younger generations. Come out and learn about the “Circles of Influence”, along with strategies for application, the qualities of a “step up and step back” leader and identify areas of potential growth for you and your team. All with a cold beverage and delicious hors d’ouevres!
There are paradoxes in leadership, and 2020 made them more visible. A leader needs to be humble, innovative, strategic, traditional, technology savvy, systems-minded, and cognizant of politics. Due to the many roles a leader plays, having others to help lead is critical today. Solving complex problems using other people’s thinking allows for actions and authority to be distributed. Bring your team and join us for interactive exercises to learn about connected intelligence.
We all know, employees play an important role in idea generation, task implementation, and monitoring. Engaging them results in quicker decision-making, rather than sending decisions “up the ladder.” This session, with engaging activities, will provide information to highlight concepts using the Circle of Influence to Selecting the Right People for the Right Place. Following this program, participants will discover why and how to put people in the right positions and some strategies to do so. Door prizes including a copy of Francis’ book Connected Leadership: Engage your workforce to lead themselves.
We’ll kick things off with a toast! We’ll have plenty of time to re-connect, network and to learn! Join us and let’s “re-enter” our worlds together!
