What Makes a Great Leader? SLC Community Unveils the Secrets of Great Leadership
The best leaders are always learning. On March 25th the Innovation Hub was doing just that! We, along with over 50 members from the SLC community took part in a learning workshop about how to be an effective leader. We learned about the difference between leading ourselves and leading others, and how to do both effectively.
We heard from the always insightful John Conrad, our very own Director of Innovation and Business Engagement, about these great topics and how to become strong leaders ourselves. The workshop delved into the key differences between leading yourself and leading others, equipping us with tools to excel in both areas. We learned the importance of continuous learning, asking questions, and fostering compassion and curiosity. These qualities, along with open communication and collaboration, all contribute to building strong relationships – the foundation of effective leadership.
A big thanks to Michael Richards for organizing this event, and to Emma Laporte for sharing her inspiring leadership journey!
