Leadership matters. Leaders at the senior level strive to create a culture of engagement, while leaders on the front line need to motivate employees daily to drive results. Regardless of level, most leaders "think" they're demonstrating the qualities of an effective leader, but the findings from Dale Carnegie’s study indicate otherwise.

Only 25% of employees are deeply engaged in their job.

Through a recent global employee study, Dale Carnegie identified specific areas where leaders are falling short - we call these "leadership blind spots". Join us for a leadership discussion, as we identify the leadership attributes that are critical to organizational performance and find out what your leaders may be missing.

This interactive session will be hosted by Amy Blake, VP of Operations & Regional Leader at Dale Carnegie, giving you plenty of discussion time with like-minded leaders, and practical tools to apply immediately.

Join us to uncover your organization’s Leadership Blind Spots:
•    Learn how your leaders can drive employee retention and satisfaction
•    Uncover common leadership blind spots that may be undermining your corporate culture
•    Start to identify your organization's leadership performance gaps

Who Should Attend:
People Managers, Senior Leaders, Human Resources and L&D professionals, as well as anyone else who wants to empower their leaders to build a culture that engages and retains their employees.
