Join us for this special leadership development session for Chamber members! Most of us don’t think about equipping others until it’s too late. It may be someone who leaves your team (voluntarily or not) & leaves a void behind because no one else knows how to fill. It could be that your weekly load increases to the point that you need to offload important tasks to someone you can trust, but it’s hard to find the time to do so. Sometimes it is because you’re working toward stepping away from the business or team in the near future & you want to insure that they thrive even after you’re gone. Whatever the circumstance, the ‘how’ of equipping others is always where the pain is felt. Learn three tools that can help you effectively multiply into the lives of those you lead.
