Join Free →The challenge and complexity of what comes next for the ABA and ASD fields cannot be understated. Are you and your leadership team prepared for a future without precedent? Sixty-one percent of executives feel they are not equipped for the strategic challenges they expect and only 12% of companies nationwide have confidence in their next-tier leadership team. Traditional skills-based or ideology-driven approaches to leadership development are ill-equipped to meet the demands of the new workforce and the future of our industry. Generative Leadership (GL) equips your teams with powerful tools to navigate the complexities of today's world, a mindset practice to shape the future, and allows them to thrive in the future you envision. In this session we will explore one tool in the GL arsenal, Generative Listening™. What if you could elevate your own influence and the influence of others through listening. Generative Listening™ is a listening that energizes people and possibility. Leaders and organizations that are well practices with it have a distinct competitive advantage. They spend less time reactive to what the world throws at them and more time actively shaping and living into their ideal future.
