As someone who’s held a leadership position, you know that leading others can often be rife with problems and paradoxes.

How can we transform our organization while simultaneously focusing on performance? What does it take to change culture, yet still get short-term results? Why is it that we are often hired for our hard skills, while our Interpersonal skills are often most powerful for getting high performance from others? How do we make the tough calls and ensure buy-in with our decisions? Can we hold people accountable and yet treat each person as an individual? 

The answer to many of these questions is both “yes, and,” and “it depends”— another paradox.

In this illuminating speech, Margaret Andrews untangles these problems, giving you the compass you need to navigate the complexities of leadership. You’ll learn what it takes to confront these challenges with confidence and clarity, while also giving yourself, your team, and your organization every chance possible at success.
