Hi everyone. I'm Ray Luther.

1
00:00:02.145 --> 00:00:03.565
I'm Brenda Bailey Hughes Ray

2
00:00:03.565 --> 00:00:04.845
and I teach at the Kelly School

3
00:00:04.845 --> 00:00:06.485
of Business at Indiana University.

4
00:00:06.905 --> 00:00:09.525
And over the years of working with a number of companies,

5
00:00:09.525 --> 00:00:13.565
leaders have told us that their number one challenge is how

6
00:00:13.565 --> 00:00:16.445
to get past that basic level of training for leaders,

7
00:00:16.715 --> 00:00:19.125
take their leadership to the next level so

8
00:00:19.125 --> 00:00:21.685
that they can step away from the day-to-Day grind,

9
00:00:22.015 --> 00:00:23.525
think more broadly about the

10
00:00:23.525 --> 00:00:24.925
complexities that they're facing.

11
00:00:25.825 --> 00:00:27.565
So Brenda and I put together a program

12
00:00:28.025 --> 00:00:30.445
to introduce the concept of transformational leadership

13
00:00:30.445 --> 00:00:32.685
and how do we bring transformational leadership to life

14
00:00:32.745 --> 00:00:35.485
so you as a leader can become more inspirational, uh,

15
00:00:35.495 --> 00:00:37.525
drive positive change within your organization,

16
00:00:38.025 --> 00:00:39.925
and be that leader that others want

17
00:00:39.925 --> 00:00:41.045
to emulate going forward.

18
00:00:41.425 --> 00:00:43.285
We hope you'll join us for this workshop

19
00:00:43.295 --> 00:00:44.805
where you'll get some great new ideas.
