“Mission-Critical Leadership: How Smart Managers Lead
Well in All Directions”
Jon Lokhorst, Leadership Coach, Corporate Trainer and Author
Thursday, June 3, 2021
8:00 - 9:00AM CT
Open to all! No charge to attend.
Online Registration Only. Click here to RSVP by Tuesday, June 1
A Zoom link will be sent out to registrants a day prior to this session.
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. This presentation is based on Jon’s new book, Mission-Critical Leadership: How Smart Managers Lead Well in All Directions.
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.
