In this webinar, participants will learn from experts in the field on how they handled tough decisions when they were at the crossroads of engineering and the human experience.

EFFECTIVE LEADERSHPE WITHIN A CORPORATION
Have you ever been asked what is one quality or capability that stands out when it comes to great leadership? Leadership can take on many different faces; it’s just a question of understanding how you lead and why.
In this month’s webinar we will focus on LeaderSHPE skills you’ll need to succeed as a leader. In a world as complex and rapidly changing as ours, there is not any one capability that does the trick. But there are a few LeaderSHPE skills that will help you be effective faster than others.
There are many leadership skills and competencies that, when combined and applied, go toward making you an effective leader. It is best to remember you have the ability to develop each of these skills within yourself. It’s always up to you. This is what SHPE leaders are made of!
Some of the questions addressed will include:

What do I need to do to keep up with the pace of business with the increasing complexity of today’s workplace?
What can I do today to hone in on my leaderSHPE skills to be successful?

This is a VIRTUAL webinar being held using Facebook Live on the SHPE National Facebook page on Wednesday, February 28. Just to come to the SHPE National Facebook page at 5pm PT/ 8pm ET and you’ll see the event happening live in our feed.
We are Building a Stronger Familia one leader at a time. Pursue your goals with the help of your SHPE familia by participating in the webinar with us.
