Management across many industries wish to see leadership skills across individual contributors but do not provide individual employees with any terminology or training to do so. This presentation helps fill in that gap by exploring practices that can be utilized universally across all roles in any industry. Ultimately, anyone and everyone can be a leader and foster a better work environment where everyone’s productivity is increased and ideas allowed to foster.
