4 Letter Word

Does support = staff?  Is this the current "industry standard" approach to meeting people's' needs.

The Art of Servant Leadership
Steve Hendricks, Director of Business Development, Scioto

The 2019 workforce is comprised of 4 generations of people. Each generation has their own unique ways of thinking, behaving and communicating. This poses a great challenge for today’s leaders.

Using stories, reflection and a question/answer format, we will identify key Servant Leadership principles that will provide leaders with tools and resources to enhance employee engagement and productivity.
