{YEX EVENT} Motivational Leadership Workshop at Dale Carnegie Training
On March 5th, over 20 YEX members joined us at the Dale Carnegie Training NYC for an instructional workshop on motivational leadership lead by Fil Ionata, Master Trainer. As a leader, it is imperative to acknowledge that each of your team members is an individual, and while certain perks may motivate you and others, they may not motivate everyone. Most professionals have the ability to keep themselves motivated, but the responsibility falls on a leader to create an environment where people have meaningful work. In this workshop, we will examine how leaders can foster an environment where motivation flourishes and people are encouraged to grow and do their best, while simultaneously increasing morale and productivity as a whole.
