- Date: Wednesday, October 25, 2017
- Time: 4:30 PM to 5:15 PM
- Location: Pier 2 & 3 - Convention Centre South, 2nd floor
Not your traditional leadership training, this session will provide EDs with a brief, hands-on introduction to concrete new tools for effective action on the three main challenges identified by leaders today: "adaptive" leadership, decision-making in the age of ‘doing more with less’ and communicating effectively and ethically in our world of mass data and a thousand messages a day. With learnings from the Harvard Kennedy School – John F. Kennedy School of Government. AFTHO plans to provide a more in-depth professional development version of this session this fall and in 2018.
Here is the suggested reading you may wish to use as a background to help set the context for the presentation.
