Welcome to IT Symposium/Xpo! Join us for this networking breakfast and get to know your global enterprise peers as we discuss what to expect this week at the Conference.
Between geopolitical tensions, the pandemic, social justice concerns and climate urgency, it seems like we are never out of crisis mode. If this is the new normal, how should leaders lead? This session covers tactics to motivate and protect teams who are at the brink in terms of fatigue and anxiety and covers what actions you must get right no matter what.
“I am not interested in transformation,” said no CEO ever. Everybody's transforming. And so they should be. The problem is that transformations can feel like pushing water uphill, with leaders exhorting their people to change and despairing that they ever will. So, what's missing? Neuroscience. Don’t limit yourself to rational, reasonable arguments for change that are right but boring. Instead, embrace science-backed and simple behavioral tactics covered in this session.
Behind every triumph, every expression of his gifts, Emmanuel Acho has had to ignore what everyone around him called “logic”: the astronomical odds against making it, the risks of continuing to dream bigger or differently. Instead of playing it safe, at every turn Acho has thrown conventional wisdom―logic―out the window. Now, he’s empowering others do the same. Whether it’s creating the next groundbreaking startup, fighting for change as an activist, or committing to a personal passion, Acho’s work is inspiring others to become change-makers. Enlivened by stories from his life and other illogical pioneers, Acho asks us to replace the limits set for us, and which we set for ourselves, with a world of possibility. Our horizons, he shows us, are endless.
