He will explain how Leadership by Consent enhances performance in business, community, and representative roles. The talk will contrast Leadership by Consent with other forms of leadership and, by examining case studies, explore how, with both entrepreneurial leadership and representative leadership, core elements of personal values still play a crucial role in the most successful leadership.
