Presentation: The Science and Practice Behind Helping New (and Experienced) Leaders Succeed
The first 20 guests will receive Gentry’s book, Be the Boss Everyone Wants to Work For
Think about when you first became “the boss” in your life. What was it like? One of the hardest transitions in any leader’s career is the one from a high-potential individual contributor or professional to his or her first formal leadership position. During this interactive presentation, you will learn practical, actionable research-based tips and advice from Dr. William Gentry, the author of the highly acclaimed book, Be the Boss Everyone Wants to Work For: A Guide for New Leaders. As someone who researches and trains new leaders, and is one himself, Gentry will share the latest science and practice behind becoming the boss everyone wants to work for. Whether you are brand new to leadership, someone who aspires to be in a leadership position one day, or a person who has been in a leadership position for a while and wants to keep developing to be an effective leader, this session is for you.
