The Positive Leader: How Energy and Happiness Fuel Top-Performing Teams
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join Jan Mühlfeit, former Chairman of Microsoft Europe and our April Author in Residence, for a discussion on his book The Positive Leader: How Energy and Happiness Fuel Top-Performing Teams
Positivity is often massively overlooked in the corporate world. Usually leaders think in terms of performance and profits, but these are the results of excellent leadership, not the causes of it. Positivity is the real game changer. When positivity flows throughout a business, it acts as a catalyst for motivation, better morale and productivity. A leader who masters this trait can bring out the very best in themselves and others, making all the difference between the success or failure of their organization.
In this unique session, former Chairman of Microsoft Europe, Jan Mühlfeit, demonstrates that sustained success and happiness as an individual comes from unlocking the full potential of our talents and doing what we love. After all, life is too short to slog away on the areas where we can, at best, only be average.
This talk remedies that problem, offering a complete system for positive leadership which is easily adaptable to any kind of leader or organization. Upon reading this refreshingly straight forward guide, attendees will learn how to:
Unlock their strengths
Develop charisma
Create a positive team culture
