Our Topic:
Connection Cures Contention
On Thursday, December 14th starting at 11:30 a.m. please join us for our December AIM lunch meeting. Our December meeting features Richard Godfrey – one of the most enlightening and entertaining persons we have ever met. Richard will talk about how Connection Cures Contention.
Being technology leaders can feel, at times, like the holidays with family – sometimes we are connecting and sometimes we are not. Technology is a culture of precision. Precision coupled with changing demands and the fast pace can create contention. But precision can also drive productive connection - as long as we commit to three principles and four leadership pivots:
In this session, with a special emphasis on the real-world demands on our technology leader roles, Richard will focus on the principles of that cure contention:
- Contention may be naturally occurring but science shows it is not natural to humans
- Generational contention is solvable by adding one critical element to the discussion
- Learning to “BE” a leader how knows how to:
-
- Be curious
- Be available
- Be creative
- Be linked
Please join us for this meeting. To those who register (and also attend the meeting) we will provide a copy of Richard’s newest book “Connection Cures Contention.”
