Are truly great leaders born? The traits needed somehow naturally embedded in their very being?

Or can individuals learn the skills necessary to dominate the board room,  stay calm in a crisis, continually innovate? Make the choices that are in the best interest for the company today and 20 years down the road?

“From the playground to the board room, whenever two or more people are gathered together, we must all face the challenges of leadership. When I participated in the 2011 event, I took home ideas I was able to use immediately with my team and my managers.”
-Michelle Reavis, Alumni Association President

All about Choice

The 2012 Leadercast will focus on choice and its impact in both our everyday lives and the business world.

Sheena Iyengar, a speaker at the 2012 Leadercast, and author of the The Art of Choosing, speaks best about the importance and impact of choice on our lives:

The expansion of choice has become an explosion of choice, and while there is something beautiful and immensely satisfying about having all of this variety at our fingertips, we also find ourselves beset by it.

But can we really complain? This abundance, which many of us take for granted, is not available to everyone. When we question it, we might be accused of looking a gift horse in the mouth, or somebody might offer to play us the world’s saddest song on the world’s smallest violin.

Moreover, whatever our reservations about choice, we have continued to demand more of it, and these demands have not gone unheeded.
