Leadership That Rocks:
Set List to Develop Brand Ambassadors with Practical Initiatives and Get Iconic Results
Today’s leadership is not a role; it’s a responsibility. It’s not about a selfie; it’s about service. It’s not just talking the talk; it’s walking the walk.
Keynote speaker and best-selling author, Jim Knight will act as a thought-starter for the session. He will use the visceral backdrop of Rock ‘n Roll and several well-known brands, including Hard Rock International—via his 21-year run with that brand as the head of Global Training & Development—to discuss key strategies to transform any organization’s culture, regardless of the company’s cultural history or status
