| Without good leadership, very little gets accomplished However, leadership is difficult to define. Most people know good leaders when they see the results, but not everyone can tell how good a leader they themselves are, and some people don't even know when they are being followed. This presentation will discuss various aspects of leadership, and how they affect your career - whether you know it or not. We will discuss specific things you can do to develop your own leadership skills, and why leadership skills are essential for success in today's professional environment. Even working as a sole proprietor (company of one), leadership skills are required. Specific examples from the career of the presenter, an independent consultant since 1992 and volunteer in a number of roles, will be used to illustrate various leadership qualities and characteristics. |
