Leadership lessons they don’t teach you in business school!

Topics

Many aspire to leadership positions, without fully comprehending the heavy responsibility and the huge personal cost that comes with it. Too often leadership as a concept is neatly packaged with principles, which promise to perform miracles when applied. However, while the theory may sound good, it can be a messy business in the trenches, with shifting realities throwing unforeseen curve balls. This talk will look at those aspects that leadership theories often do not address at a practical level. It will focus on some of the challenges leaders of associations face, with some practical advice on how to deal with them.
