You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader Presentation
How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Make a Positive Difference

In his work with corporate America, Mark Sanborn has found that too many definitions of leadership are focused on the outer manifestation of leadership: the title, position on the org chart, and corner office space. These perquisites of appointed leadership may have little to do with the actual ability of the individual who enjoys them to lead. Sanborn has found that the more telling characteristic of true leaders is their power with people as opposed to the positional power they may enjoy over people.

More About This Presentation

As one of our leading thinkers, authors and speakers on leadership, Mark has focused on the true heart of leadership; What he refers to as little ‘l’ leadership.

As a master storyteller, Mark has an unparalleled ability to communicate fundamental business and leadership truths through simple stories, anecdotes and humor. You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader is a message that will resonate with those who aspire to make a positive difference — regardless of title or position.
