ODN – GDR: Work of Leaders Assessment

ABOUT THE SESSION

Learn how to engage the Work of Leaders using the framework of Vision, Alignment and Execution.

It promotes team members working together to maximize strengths in order to accomplish shared goals and objectives. In this hands-on program, assess your skill level in the 18 best practices for the Work of Leaders based on six years of Wiley research.

This session is applicable to new or experienced practitioners as well as formal and informal leaders. Julia will also share her experience and lessons learned facilitating the Work of Leaders program for a global client in Germany, Singapore, New York and California.
