GENERAL SESSIONS
The Art of Leadership: Unleashing Your Inner Superhero
Anne Grady | Thursday, June 23 | 3:15-4:30pm
What sets leaders apart from managers? How
can you create and maintain a motivational work
environment? How can you inspire others to grow
and develop?
Our current business environment presents us with
more complex challenges than ever before and
has forced organizations to re-examine traditional
approaches to leadership. What once worked to motivate, engage
and inspire others has changed significantly. Because leaders are an
organization’s biggest asset or greatest liability, they must be able to use
new approaches to develop high performing individuals and teams. This
dynamic and interactive session will explore ways to provide personalized
leadership, leverage your strengths and the strengths of others, and create
a culture of engagement.
Disrupt: Sparking Business Transformation with Innovation
Luke Williams | Friday, June 24 | 9:30-10:30am
Successful companies operating in mature
industries that embrace incremental change find
themselves on a path that gets narrower and
narrower. Eventually, they reach the end of the
path, and by then, their customers have forsaken
them for a new offering that nobody saw coming.
In cases where companies do take disruptive risks,
it’s often because they’re backed into a corner and
there’s no other choice. But companies that try to
differentiate themselves by focusing on incremental innovation instead of
game-changing, disruptive innovation will differentiate themselves right
out of business. They simply cannot afford to wait until they get backed
into a corner.
Companies need to be consistently making bold moves, even at the very
peak of their success. This is exactly the sort of thing that new start-ups
and small-scale enterprises are best at. But, it’s an approach to business
that can be learned and applied just as effectively by large organizations
and industry incumbents—in fact, by anyone who’s willing to challenge
the status quo wherever they are.
