Panel: Leadership That Scales: Developing Leaders for Growth, Change & Impact
4:00 pm
In this interactive, in-person conversation, learn what it takes to build leadership capacity that keeps pace with growth, ambiguity, and mission-critical work.
Unpack the behaviors and systems that shape culture, performance, and trust. Expect practical stories from inside Karius, plus time to pressure-test your own leadership approach through audience Q&A and discussion so you leave with ideas you can apply immediately back at your organization.
- Define the observable behaviors that distinguish “scaling leadership” from strong people management especially in complex, fast-changing environments
- Identify the core elements of a leadership development system (cadence, feedback loops, coaching, and visibility) that builds leaders at every level before and after promotion
- Apply at least one actionable practice to create clarity and alignment during high stakes change (e.g., pivots, restructures, shifting priorities) without defaulting to micromanagement
