PR Newswire
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Servant Leadership Institute (SLI), a forward-thinking leadership resource center, today announced it will host its second annual Winter Conference from January 31 to February 2, 2012, at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, San Diego, California. The theme of this year’s conference is “Servant Leadership: Turning Principles into Practice.” SLI delivers leadership resources through training, consulting, and focused events.
This Annual Servant Leadership Winter Conference provides the unique opportunity for leaders in the public, private, and social sectors to understand Servant Leadership as the most effective method of leadership that treats people with dignity and respect while remaining committed to achieving results.
Servant Leadership Winter Conference guest speakers will include: John Maxwell, noted author and leadership expert; Garry Ridge, President & CEO of WD-40; Elizabeth Bryant, Director of Operational Training at Southwest Airlines; Dr. Leonard Sweet, International Speaker & Author of over 50 books; and other national noted leaders.
“We are fortunate to have such esteemed speakers at our second conference,” states Datron president and CEO Art Barter. ”If you are in a position of influence, a leader who is tired of the traditional models of power and intimidation, you need to attend. Begin transforming your organization from any level and watch employees’ respect grow beyond your own expectations.”
“Leadership is in crisis, especially as our world becomes both more complex and much smaller,” states Dr. Tony Baron, President of Servant Leadership Institute. ”Of course, transparency will help leaders build trust, but it will not solve the increasing gap between principle and practice unless a major paradigm shift takes place. Our goal is to challenge traditional perceptions of leadership and enable integration of Servant Leadership in our own environments.”
Servant Leadership Winter Conference will provide a safe setting for open and honest dialogue about the means to achieve better leadership in any organization. Registration information is at www.ForTheSakeofOthers.com or by calling toll free 855-SLI-LEAD (855)754-5323.
