As creatives transition into leadership, they often rely on directing and problem-solving as a primary interaction mode with their teams. Over the course of two days, you will develop skills to introduce a new mode of leadership into your practice to help your team thrive.
Move beyond direction to unlock the potential of your team.
Registration closed.
