About the Program:
What’s the difference between a great leader and a great manager? What do leaders do that managers don’t, and vice versa? Don’t all successful projects and businesses need both? Can you be both, and do you need to be? These are the questions that Leigh Branham will pose and answer in this stimulating presentation, which will ask attendees to reflect on the differing roles of leader and manager, which of the two they are best suited for, and ways to get better at both.
