October Bonus Program! Presented by best selling author Michael Lee Stallard.
8:30 – 9:45am
Fired Up Leadership
What work environment makes everyone perform to the best of their ability and align their behavior with organizational goals? In Mike’s presentation he lays out the six universal needs to thrive and the work environment that research has shown helps people and organizations achieve superior performance for sustained periods of time. Sharing knowledge integrated from research in multiple fields including organizational behavior, psychology, neuroscience, sociology, and history, and stories of great leaders as well as his personal experiences, Michael describes “The Connection Culture.” Tech guru and venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki recently wrote that Mike’s Connection Culture manifesto is a “must read” to help leaders understand how to gain competitive advantage; award-winning business journalist William J. Holstein (The New York Times, Business Week) wrote that Michael’s ideas “reflect great wisdom”; and Darden Business School Associate Dean Marian Moore wrote “Michael’s presentation was powerful…the buzz among the executive MBAs was fantastic.” General Electric recently incorporated Mike’s work into its leadership training program.
Mike is president of E Pluribus Partners, a leadership training and coaching firm. He is the primary author of the bestselling book Fired Up or Burned Out. Mike has diverse experience having worked in sales, marketing, finance and investment banking, at organizations including Morgan Stanley, Barclays PLC and Texas Instruments. He is a guest lecturer on leadership, productivity and innovation at the University of Virginia’s Darden Graduate School of Business and the Center for Creative Leadership.
Buy Mike’s book ($15 paper or $25 hardcover) and the talk is free.
