Leading from Behind

When making the transition from school to the workplace, soft skills can be the hardest to learn and master. In this interactive session, we focus on the idea of “leading from behind.” Any leader works to lead their team; how can a leader teach and motivate the team to take initiative and solve problems in the way that the leader would – without the leader getting directly involved? Conversely, how can members of a team most effectively help their leader lead? This leading from behind often requires more than just completing assigned tasks. We will explore these dimensions and other parts of the idea of leading from behind.
