May Leadership Roundtable

May 16th from 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM

Leader As Coach: How the Best Leaders Develop Others

Questions we will explore:

How do leaders bring out the best in others? 

How can a leader be an empathizer? 

What can we learn from neuroscience about how the brain processes information and the role of mindfulness and attending to develop others? 

Dr. Steve Romano will share research and best practices to stimulate thinking and to connect with and inspire others. He will introduce two key models: ACS – assess, challenge, and support, and the Triple Loop Listening model, to lead holistically, and promote cultures of empowerment and accountability. Knowing that individuals are always a part of a larger context, listening is the gateway for better decision-making and effective leadership.

Please join us for an engaging conversation with Steve and your colleagues, and leave with practical tips to bring out the best in others.

Facilitator:

Steve Romano, Ph.D. Managing Director, Olistica, Center for Sustainable Leadership 

Steve is a professor, facilitator, speaker and coach with extensive  corporate experience and applied expertise.
