About the Program:
What Do Leaders Do?A quick paced, easy to understand presentation focused on what leaders do and how they do it. The presentation opens with definitions and illustrations of what leaders do; what managers do; and how each plays a different but critical role in an organization. Next is a discussion on situational leadership with several illustrations of how different people in different situations become effective leaders. The presentation closes with a discussion on “how do you know if someone is an effective leader?”
