Join investment leadership expert Jamie Ziegler, principal of Focus Consulting Group, for a special CFA workshop on how to manage and motivate your team (and yourself) during this challenging environment. The current crisis is driving some teams apart – and bringing others closer together – depending on how the leaders are reacting. You will learn how to take the current climate of chaos and use it to your team’s advantage so you can weather this storm most effectively and be best- positioned to benefit when the storm passes.
During the workshop, you will learn:
- How to lead when so much is out of your control
- How to transform fear and anxiety into vision and wisdom
- The value of values in difficult times
- Building teams in tough times; what people need and want in days of turbulence
- Four specific actions you can take right now to motivate yourself and your team
We invite you to join us, and to bring your team-mates, for what promises to be a timely and useful program.
