If you have been in leadership for any length of time, you know it can be complicated. Being a leader worth following requires you to hone and simultaneously juggle a myriad of skills—communication, emotional intelligence, problem-solving, decision-making and goal-setting, to name a few. You may be inherently gifted in some areas of leadership but weak in others, and that’s where leadership development comes in.
Leadership may be complicated, but your pursuit for leadership learning shouldn’t be. Oftentimes, finding the resources that will equip you to navigate the challenges that come your way as a leader can be overwhelming.
We want to simplify your leadership development. At Leadercast 2022—The One Thing, we will cut through the noise of leadership learning to provide you with the one thing you need to reach your leadership potential. Taking place live on May 4 at Cincinnati OH’s Fifth Third Arena and virtually at select locations around the globe, Leadercast 2022—The One Thing will gather 10 of today’s most prolific leaders to answer one simple question:
“What is The One Thing that makes a leader worth following?”
Read on for a preview of the speakers and The One Thing topics they will be covering that will provide you with a focused direction of how to be a better leader.
