Seminar Title: Can You Pay The Costs To Be The Boss? How Georgia Tech Influenced My Leadership Journey
Abstract:
Boss – a person who exercises control or authority over someone or something. In today’s society, being the boss is a highly sought-after position because of certain “perceived” perks of the boss: power, prestige and money. Often, in a quest for leadership, individuals fail to consider the important costs associated with being a boss, which may result in unanticipated obstacles along their journey. It is important to identify and understand these costs and their significance in being a leader in an organization. This session is designed to share with the participants certain key ways that the presenter’s experiences while a student at Georgia Tech influenced her leadership journey.
