Creating a workforce of individuals devoted to local and international issues is critical for global companies that want to impact meaningful change in the world. This week Dr. Shannon Hader shares how the School of International Service at American University in Washington D.C. is merging scholarship with big thinking to create a generation of leaders that can handle hot topics, stay adaptable in leadership positions, and make critical decisions under pressure.
 
Here are a few things you’ll learn during this conversation:

How to handle emotional conversations as a leader
Why global companies value a workforce concerned with foreign policy
How setting an example as a leader could backfire
Strategies for setting the tone of professional relationship
Why recognition is an effective strategy for building trust in your workplace culture

 
During the 24-Hour Influence Challenge, Dr. Hader encourages you to ask three people on your team about the invisible work they do and why it’s important. This conversation will reveal a deeper understanding of the roles of others and how they relate to your own work.
