Description:
For thousands of years, we’ve been talking about leadership. In the last few
decades hundreds of books were written discussing this or that aspect of Leadership yet,
still we struggle, employees complain and our biggest speedbump is ourselves. As we
transitioned from the worker model to the knowledge worker model, the leadership gap
became larger, more pronounced and negatively impacting. Drucker introduced the term
“knowledge worker” in the 1960’s, but still we struggle.

Besides specific suggestions and ideas, we will discuss the power of understanding your
