Introverts/Ambiverts/Extroverts As Excellent Leaders Our traditional view has been that virtually all leaders are extroverts. Based on 300+ interviews with C Suite Executives (100+ being CEOs) we have found that about half are introverts and half are extroverts, similar to the normal population of the U.S. and Canada. This was a considerable surprise. Not everyone is an extreme introvert or extrovert-the distribution is a bell curve, so most people are just a bit introverted or bit extroverted-and introverts make great executives, as well.In this presentation, Karl will talk about the many strengths (and a few weaknesses) of Introverts, Ambiverts, and Extroverts and how they might become even better leaders. He will discuss how to effectively work with each type, how to be a better manager for them, and how to work more effectively for them, if they are your boss.

Lead with Joy! You won't get to joy by leading the way you always led. You, the leader, will need to make a change, serious change. In this talk, Rich will explore his own journey to joy, how he had to learn to lead in a completely different way, by doing so, witnessed results that exceeded his wildest expectations. In this talk, Rich will use this example and by analogy apply it to the human teams we are leading. The message is simple: when we finally understand the relevant principles (in flight, or in teams), we can fly to heights and distances that were previously unimaginable. Rich will take you on a journey of change and bring you to the place he is now ... that we stand at the vanguard of understanding what it takes to unleash the human potential of the people who work for us and around us. He will explain how the common, unchanging, disengagement statistics are a fundamental failure of leadership and what simple things we can do to get our teams off the ground and flying.
