Leadership is undergoing a radical transformation in the 21st century, challenging C-Level executives and managers with unprecedented changes in technology, demographics, and the global economy. Adapting to these shifts requires a breakthrough approach that inspires people, builds community, and establishes trust. The successful new leader must integrate both hard and soft traits. In this keynote, attendees will learn from Betsy Myers about the six key trends disrupting organizations: a new leadership model integrating head and heart, a leadership profile based on authenticity, a work model focusing on purpose, and the empowerment of women and millennials.
