[In-Person] The Case For Humanity In Leadership Seminar with Atul Khosla

The most recent events are shaping the future of leadership in these unprecedented times. Leaders are caught in managing the paradoxical tension of providing direction, hope and inspiration to their people to walk with them on a path which is not clear. Most organizations and leaders are struggling to engage their people and as a result there is a general restlessness in the workforce across the world.

Organizations and leaders need to pivot from their focus on building competencies and skills to looking inwards. There is a real need for leaders to find and connect with their personal core and give people a reason to trust and connect with who they are versus roles they perform.

Join AmCham and Atul Khosla for a seminar on how organizations can transform effective executives into inspirational leaders who will deliver better outcomes, including learning simple practices which can help leaders bring out and amplify their humanity to make a sustainable difference to their people and eventually to the business.
