Be the Leader You are Capable of Becoming

About Registration

Event Overview

This AME Deep Dive Workshop is a continuation of a keynote presentation from the 2021 AME Conference.  In this session we take a deep dive into the main topic of the presentation. The session will allow time to process together, build connections with one another, and dig deeper.

The session is structured to include content that is research-based, shares best practices, and provides proven “how-to” strategies.

The session will include time with subject matter experts and small group discussion.  Everyone will participate, and you will be given opportunities to ask questions along the way and at the end.

These sessions will NOT be recorded, so you must attend the live session as scheduled.

Topic: Be the Leader You are Capable of Becoming

Most of us strive to become better at what we do.  But there is a depressingly small number of leaders who are very good at passionately engaging people in highly effective improvement practices.  What do they do differently from the rest?  Is there a model we can use to help us get better?  Based on my conversations and observations with some of these leaders I believe the answer is yes.  In this talk I plan to share four behaviors these leaders practiced to become a better leader.  They successfully improved their abilities to elevate both the magnitude and rate of improvement with their team, their peers and their organization (e.g., at getting better, at getting better).
