Filling the Pipeline: Leading up (and Down)
How does age affect the dynamics between leaders and followers? Older leaders may often feel younger followers are challenging their authority, while younger leaders may hesitate to give orders to someone as old as their grandparent. Gentelligent leaders acknowledge the realities and attitudes that exist around age and leadership. This session will explore leader/follower challenges and flip them into advantages by practicing the principles of Gentelligence®.
