BRAND
Our personal and our teams level of effectiveness and the visibility of that effectiveness to our company partners is what defines us as an asset to our companies.
There is no “I” in team and understanding the critical role personal branding plays in our leadership success is key.
Personal branding gives us distinction, and executive presence is how we express that distinction. This is why we must think of leadership not in terms of our job title and job description, but as a responsibility that goes far beyond that.
Let’s Recap
Leadership is a career-long journey in which our ability to see and choose the right opportunities – for ourselves, those we lead and the organization we serve – will translate into our best legacy and defining moments.
