About the Event

Develop leadership skills that drive engagement, accountability and lasting improvement results.

OVERVIEW

At the 2025 AME conference, Jon Colby quoted Steven Covey, "Leadership is a choice, not a position." The context of this quote was that no matter your title, you’re not leading if people aren’t following. A title doesn’t motivate and inspire others, actions can though. Instead of waiting for permission or direction, taking initiative and responsibility for your actions that positively impact those around you is a choice you have.

Thus, to have people follow CI initiatives (or any management led initiative), what must you choose to regularly do? Further, to be able to confidently make such choices, what skills do you need to be practicing such that they come to the surface naturally when they need to? How do you practice them?

WHAT ATTENDEES WILL LEARN
