Learning Objective: Learn how to efficiently lead employees in a technology-driven world, define your personal leadership style, and develop your leadership skills Description: Leading others can be challenging and even more so in a technology-driven environment. Technical leaders see beyond the initial problem and look at the systems as a method for developing a solution. Today’s successful leaders must have both the ideas and the know-how to put these ideas into action by working collaboratively with others. Organizations need leaders who can network on a large scale, seize opportunities, and deliver financial profits while adding positive contributions to the organization. At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to: 1. Explore what traits are needed to be a successful leader in a tech-centered world. 2. Define desirable strategies for leaders in a tech-driven environment. 3. Examine lifelong guidelines for emerging leaders that will help them to make decisions. 4. Discuss how to establish themselves as leaders.
