Effective leaders understand the wisdom to "manage themselves so others don't have to". The key to self management is understanding not only our strengths and weaknesses but understanding how to ensure our strengths do not become overpowering and unproductive. This session will help leaders and HR professionals reflect on their leadership strengths, explore the unintended shadow side of their strengths and learn self management practices.
