Without question, leadership skills are critical for senior roles that have oversight over people and departments. However, savvy employees that are seeking a leg-up on career advancement start exhibiting their leadership chops from whatever seat they currently occupy.   This session will take the mystery out of what it takes to lead from the chair you're in right now by exploring the six critical traits of great leaders and how to implement them in your day-to-day.

Learning Objectives:

  • What it means to lead from the chair you're in right now.
  • Why it's critical to learn to lead when you don't have direct reports (and how that will help set you up for success when you do have employees reporting to you!).
  • How to lead company-wide initiatives without making enemies of your co-workers.
  • How to leverage your company's resources and opportunities to gain the leadership knowledge you need to grow your career.
  • Driving your own leadership development when your organization doesn't have a clear path or support for growth.
