Registration
Details
When leaders intentionally create cultures that embrace and model the classic virtues, discretionary effort is released. Discretionary effort performs better than “carrot” and “stick” approaches. This theme is perhaps more maturely developed in two of Dr. Stoller's thirteen books, Better Humans, Better Performance (2022) and Exception to the Rule (2018). The conversation will also highlight Dr. Stoller's key career and leadership journey milestones and lessons to encourage others.
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND THIS EVENT AND RECEPTION.
The event will also be livestreamed
