[NW]Business Breakfast: Developing Transformational Leadership Techniques

[color=darkred][b]Please note - you must complete the official registration[/color]. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTER[/b]

Transformational leadership is about implementing new ideas; these individuals continually change themselves; they stay flexible and adaptable; and continually improve those around them. Join our distinguished panel of guests as they explore ways to develop transformational leadership techniques to help you take your company from good to great.

Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, defines Level 5 leaders as leaders that "build enduring greatness through a paradoxical blend of personal humility and professional will." Unfortunately, many organizations run lean on transformational leaders, the vast majority of the leaders inside organizations being transactional. Thus we see organizations decline as there is an increasingly disconnect between “the way things should be done” and “the way we do things here.”
