Leading Multigenerations
This year's theme for the Emerging Leaders' Summit is leading multigenerations. Leading multigenerations in an office can have its challenges. When stereotypes are identified, leaders can embrace the diversity that multigenerations of employees bring to the workplace.
In doing so, leaders are able to go from managing a group of multiple generation individuals to building and leading a diverse and high-performing team. The Emerging Leaders' Summit is designed for early to mid-career managers who have a desire to advance within the assessment profession and to grow as leaders.
Summit Schedule
The program will be presented in three parts: two webinars (scheduled for 1-3:00 pm Central on July 28 and 10:00 am - Noon Central on Aug. 10) and a third session (
