“May the Leadership Force be with You” Leadership lessons from Star Wars

Come join HDI Atlanta as we share leadership lessons from a galaxy far, far away!
Presented by: Krista Ciccozzi


Sure, the Star Wars universe is a fictional world with incredible action, but we can draw correlations to our everyday work life and apply the lessons learned. Luke Skywalker spent a lot of time in the swamp learning how to use the force – leadership is like the force. It's a skill that we can learn by taking classes, reflecting, seeking feedback from others, mentoring, and, of course, doing. In this meeting, we'll explore:

• Mastering the self
• Knowing who can help you and asking for help when needed
• How projects and rollouts can be like the Death Star
• What the Leadership Dark Side is and how to avoid it
• Finding and using the "Leadership Force"
