Announcing “Open Leadership” Webinar series

I’m pleased to announce a four-part series featuring the ideas and content from my new book, “Open Leadership” which will be available in late May. Below are descriptions as well as registration information for each of these Webinars. These Webinars are free and I’ll also be posting recordings and the slides from them online after each Webinar in case you can’t attend them.

More information about the “Open Leadership” book is available at open-leadership.com.

Description: “Be Open, Be Transparent, Be Authentic” are the current leadership mantras — but companies often push back. Business is premised on the concept of control and yet the new world order demands openness — leaders do not know how to be open and be in control.

This four-part Webinar series is centered on the ideas in the new book, “Open Leadership: How Social Technology Can Transform The Way You Lead” by Charlene Li, the best-selling co-author of “Groundswell”.
