In the past, a leader was often thought of as an authoritative figure giving commands whilst employees blindly followed them. When corporations started booming, the style of leadership began to reflect that of the Military. As technology advanced, leadership styles began to adapt. The modern-day leader recognized that their teams were made up of individuals with their own thoughts, opinions, and emotions. Leaders need to know who they’re leading: what motivates them, what their values are and how they think. This means leaders need to understand the "Both/And Approach to Leadership".

In this session, Paula White, President Side B Consulting, will show participants how to adopt the "Both/And Approach to Leadership". We spend so much time developing our Side A (Resume Skills), that Side B (Relationship Skills) tends to be put on the backburner until we realize that we invest more time in data than people. She will show how this approach explores the benefits of head and heart. She will discuss the advantages of becoming a leader who is both business savvy and emotionally connected.

As the Leadership DJ, she will mix-in the music of the “Both/And Approach to Leadership” to create a leadership beat that will move you and your business forward. Get ready to rock your leadership skills with Paula White!

Key Learnings:
- The importance of the “Both/And Approach to Leadership”.
- Advantages of engaging both Side A (Resume Skills) and Side B (Relationship Skills).
- Strategies for becoming a leader who is both business savvy and emotionally connected with their teams.

When the daily grind consumes our focus, it's easy to become tone-deaf to what counts most — people. That can leave us singing the blues about the resulting attrition, lost productivity, and lower bottom line. Instead of the classical management playlist focused on procedures and data, today’s rock star leaders are playing an alternative tune -- forming meaningful relationships with their teams for radically better results!

What if we could remix our leadership strategy, using music to orchestrate something uniquely collaborative? Music can magically unlock creative potential, strengthen relationships, and inspire people. When used as both a metaphor and a management tool, music puts us better in-tune with our teams, both intellectually and emotionally. We’ll hear beyond the details of the data - to truly understand the melody of people's motivations. By mixing resume skills with people skills, leadership rock stars hit play on ALL leadership capabilities, maximizing productivity, retention, and revenue.

Paula S. White, the Leadership DJ, helps leaders spin a new track for success! Her entertaining and interactive keynote illuminates how music can act as a universal language and a management tool. Her hot beats like "Learning to Fly" or "Who Are You?" will get your audience tapping their toes while reflecting on their leadership style. They’ll refine their hidden leadership potential and behaviors, and they’ll remix their own personal leadership playlist, to propel their business to a new crescendo!
