Leaders Create Effects – What Effects Are You Creating?

Leadership challenges do not occur only in the boardroom, or with the most experienced in our industry. It takes a village to instill a culture of leadership … and to develop future leaders. Different types and generations of leaders will collaborate during the AEC Leadership Conference to learn about themselves, their colleagues, and how to lead during times of change, disruption, and uncertainty.

Our Session:

Leaders create effects—what effects are you creating?

Leadership is often misunderstood.

People are frequently promoted into leadership positions because they are good at “getting things done.” But leadership isn’t primarily about doing—it’s about creating conditions, or an effect on those around them—an effect that sets up their teams for success and creates other leaders.

In this session we will explore the conditions and effects of leadership, and each participant will reflect on their own experience and their potential, to come away with a customized tool that lets them have greater choice and power in the effects they’re able to create for themselves and others.
