Five Habits of the Most Productive Leaders | Tim Harrington

One of Three "Idea Exchange" Sessions

Great leaders come in all shapes and sizes. Leaders are not perfect…no, far from it. They often have weaknesses and oddities that make you do a double take. But leaders tend to have habits and follow practices that help them achieve leadership success. Tim will share insights he has gathered from his experience consulting with corporate leaders from across the country to reveal Five Habits of the Most Productive Leaders.
