Keynote: Ron Riggio, Ph.D. "Myths & Truths About Leadership & Developing Your Personal Leadership"

This opening keynote will begin with a discussion of common questions asked about leadership, such as Are leaders born or made?and Is leadership different than management? We will explore the research-based answers to these questions, and realize that we do indeed know what makes leaders effective. Using the very popular model of transformational leadership, we will uncover the secrets of highly successful leaders, and discuss the implications for our own roles as leaders (and exemplary followers) in our organizations. We will explore how to use this model to leverage our personal strengths as leaders, and how to develop our personal leadership and leadership potential.

Ron is the Henry R. Kravis Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology.
