Inclusive Leadership: Be a Leader People Want to Follow

Overview:

 The modern leadership job is not so much to delegate, evaluate, rate, rank, review, and differentiate. Rather, today’s leaders’ coach, chart the path, clear the path, and help people have awesome experiences in the process. It involves a lot of communication, a huge emphasis on goals, being clear on priorities, erring to “yes”, and obsessive attention to the people side of things. It means taking personal responsibility for continually advancing your people skills.
