What the Best Leaders Know About Relationships

The best leaders know how to build authentic relationships and own them for life. This presentation challenges our assumptions about how relationships (professional and personal) really work and offers ideas on how to deepen the quality of our relationships with clients and with each other. The behaviors and techniques discussed in this session illustrate how success comes down to how leaders conceive of, create, manage, and nurture relationships in all directions—with office teams, with existing customers, with prospective customers, and with family and friends.
