Join Jonathan Guy in a presentation about leading by serving and empowering others.

Overview

As you ascend the ladder into a leadership and development role, you realize that regardless of your profession, your primary focus becomes understanding and managing people effectively. This transition marks your entry into the business of people. But what does it really mean to be in the business of people? It means recognizing that leadership is not about authority and power -- it's about serving and empowering others.

Speaker Jonathan Guy had a profound experience during a recent trip to Japan that unlocked the true essence of being in the business of people and embracing servant leadership. Through five intense days of learning and reflection, he gained clarity in his approach to becoming a genuine leader. The trip exposed Guy to the unique Japanese culture, where respect, humility and a strong sense of community were deeply ingrained values.

Guy shares his story, hoping it motivates and encourages you to enhance your leadership skills and abilities. Embracing the business of people and adopting a servant leadership mindset can transform your approach to leadership.
