Session Title

Leading with Agility

Abstract

The future feels more uncertain than ever, but we can be sure that the world won’t be the same “after.” As every facet of our work continues to change, so must leadership.

In this session, agile thought leader and learning expert Shane Hastie will explore what effective leadership looks like in an exponentially changing world. Leading with agility requires that we move beyond bad habits and adopt new principles of leadership. This change starts from within.

Join this session to explore how to change oneself first by developing personal agility and then develop people through meaningful relationships. Gain a deeper understanding of what it means to elevate, not delegate, and unearth the tenets behind an effective leadership development program in a world where agility is more important than ever.
