The role of the leader

After hearing Ron Oslin's session, "The role of the leader," get up close and personal with him and discuss how Capital One transformed from leaders improving processes to leaders improving people. No PowerPoint, no corporate-speak - he'll talk from the heart and tell you what worked and what didn't work as they introduced "The leader's role is to continuously improve the thinking of people NOT improve processes." Engage with Ron in what is expected to be spirited discussion and/or Q&A session with a small group of attendees. Come with your questions, be prepared to engage in the discussion and be open to challenging your assumptions, and your paradigms!
