FEI Chicago Virtual Career Management Group
“Mission-Critical Leadership: How Smart Managers Lead
Well in All Directions”
Jon Lokhorst, Leadership Coach, Corporate Trainer, Author
Held June 3, 2021
Most leadership development focuses on a single direction within the organizational hierarchy: downstream to subordinates. While it is important to be a good boss, leadership is much more than that. The best leaders learn to lead well in all directions. They lead upward to superiors and across among peers throughout the organization. And it all starts with self-leadership. This often overlooked or misunderstood leadership principle is essential to build a thriving and productive organizational culture.
Jon Lokhorst, CPA, PCC, is a leadership coach, corporate trainer, keynote speaker and the author of Mission-Critical Leadership: How Smart Managers Lead Well in All Directions. Read more about Jon.
