Building and Leading Teams

When we think of leadership strategy, one of the most critical aspects is effective partnerships between leaders within an organization to drive shareholder value. What’s not commonly considered is the ability of groups of leaders to act across boundaries (across companies) to implement strategies that help achieve business goals.  

Among the many responsibilities that come with leadership, one of the most critical is providing your employees with opportunities for learning and growth, a topic that was the focus of last week's HCI Learning and Leadership Development conference.

Focus on people. People-centered business. Don’t forget: your employees are humans. We’ve had a chance to see the human side of our attendees, sponsors, and employees during the first day of the Learning & Leadership Development Conference. After super-storm Sandy last week and a nor’easter that hit NYC last night, the conference continued—but, not without some adjustments. We’re so thankful for everyone’s flexibility and willingness to pitch in. Big thank you to John Clendenin for speaking when one of our scheduled speakers couldn’t make it due to weather complications.
