From the Ground Up: Stories and Lessons to Build Your Career
Do you question if you want to take on the tough work of being a leader at the same time as being a doer: the heavier workload, managing the performance of other people, the longer hours and stress. Is this your path? Or is there another way where you can be a firm leader without leaving yourself behind?
Author and leadership expert, Leo MacLeod, shares stories and lessons from his new book, From the Ground Up: Stories and Lessons from Architects and Engineers Who Learned to Be Leaders. In this highly interactive session, we’ll:
• Help you craft a vision for your future that includes your professional and personal goals.
• Explore the barriers to creating a meaningful career that works for you and your firm.
• Provide a framework for balancing competing priorities.
• Debunk the myth that leadership means doing it all by yourself without support.
• Identify the important people you need in your career and life for support.
