Program
Lenny N. introduces speaker Erik.
Long 23 months with COVID. March 11 declared pandemic by WHO. Leaders are most needed in hard times.
"Leading Thru Chaos." Leadership Experiment. 2022- are we going to pass or fail Leadership Experiment? Business sector trains to avoid chaos, military trains to accept chaos.
Views Leadership as a Blade. Butterknife Leaders (spread things around, dull blade). Sword Leaders (sharp, put blade in heat, pound it, cool it off). The world needs sharper leaders now more than ever.
Each one of us has a Leadership Bar that can be raised
