Once you have employees, your business changes. Leadership isn’t defined by what you lead, but by how you lead. Who do you put first at your business? Yourself? Your team? Your customers? There are no right or wrong leadership styles, per se, but the workforce struggles of the last few years have revealed one style that seemingly works better when it comes to keeping companies together, retaining staff, and recruiting new employees. At least, in the case of Vision, we can say it’s been incredibly successful: servant leadership.
Vision’s Chief Operating Officer, Julia Becker Collins, partners with the Center for Women & Enterprise of Central MA to host a free webinar sharing her leadership journey and style, as well as how it’s been effective for our marketing agency.
Servant Leadership in Action
In this webinar, Julia discusses how she’s kept her team together and employee morale high—even under the incredible strain of a global pandemic, medical emergencies, and other crises—by being a servant leader. She covers:
- Her leadership story, providing examples of difficult leadership moments she’s faced.
- The basics of servant leadership and the practical side of selfless leaders.
- Why the best leadership is taught and how to take an active role in your leadership style.
- How leadership equals people management, and why employees leave their jobs.
- Leadership during a crisis: how to plan for situations and prepare your team.
The complete webinar recording is available for viewing here (you’ll need to register for free with the CWE first).
