Booth alumni are cordially invited back to a unique Choosing Leadership half-day workshop on our London campus with Professor Linda Ginzel.
Event Details
Join Professor Linda Ginzel as she introduces her new book, Choosing Leadership. Choosing Leadership debunks common myths about leaders and encourages you to follow a personalized path to decide when to manage and when to lead. Choosing Leadership puts the responsibility for personal growth and professional development in your own hands. It gives you the opportunity to answer tough questions of yourself, process your own life lessons, reflect on your own experiences, and change your future.
This workshop will get you started on putting words into action. You'll work through some of the activities contained in the book to create your own personal definition of leadership and figure out a plan for 'what next' for you, your colleagues and communities. You'll have fun reflecting on your own experiences and building collective wisdom with the group.
Hear from Professor Linda Ginzel on Choosing Leadership.
£50
Includes a signed book, refreshments and a networking reception after the workshop.
