Program Description:
Accountability is a byproduct of effective leadership and management. I will cut through all the red tape about leadership and management to provide the essentials and get to the core of what defines great leaders and managers. I will discuss how leadership and management both comprise five essential practices. In this interactive presentation, guests will address their performance in the five areas. I will address how being a great leader doesn’t necessarily make you a great manager and vice versa. I will clarify that style or personality is irrelevant. What is crucial and nonnegotiable is that you must genuinely care about your people, and you must aspire to be great.
Learning Objectives
● How You Can Be a Great Leader and Manager
● Why Accountability is a Byproduct of Leadership and Management
● You Can’t Make People Accountable
● When You Have to Manage Someone, You’ve Made a Hiring Error

Used in a security function, earbuds and headphones with active noise-cancelation and sound-controlling technologies help in sensitive environments.
