Today’s professionals must effectively influence and lead in a global and dynamic environment with teams (and customers) representing as many as five generations. Understanding human behavior will help leaders to optimize their communication effectiveness, forge stronger relationships, and strengthen engagement to effectively lead teams through change and growth. Through a combination of discussion, theory, and the application of tools and frameworks, participants will gain the tools and language required to better understand and influence relationships, behavior, and outcomes.
