CBHL Member Leadership Discussion: Cross-Generational Leadership
“A leader’s biggest struggle is not the routine of the familiar, but the journey of the unknown. It’s getting from where they are to where they want to be strategically, tactically, organizationally, developmentally, and most importantly relationally.” -Mike Myatt, N2Growth
Many of our ideas about leadership culture come from the leaders of organizations we work for when we first enter the workforce. What was the leadership culture you first encountered? How did this shape your value system as a leader? In behavioral health, how can we better integrate leaders across generations and their respective belief systems?
Join us for an interactive, discussion to explore cross-generational leadership in behavioral health.
