The NASBP Leadership Workshop is being held prior to the NASBP Regions 4, 5, 6, and 7 Meeting and will focus on leading across generations in the surety industry. This is especially important in today's world, because, for the first time in recent history, there are three generations in the workforce. This unique circumstance requires managers to be keenly aware of the needs, motivations, styles, and desires of each employee. What will motivate one group in many cases may be in conflict with the needs of another group. Managers must know how to effectively interact not only with the Millennial generation but with the Gen X-ers and Boomers as well. Leading Across the Generations will assist the manager in becoming more effective as a manager and leader with the multi-generational workforce. The workshop is tailored to the surety industry and will include breakout groups for those with advanced leadership skills as well as aspiring leaders looking for a leg up.
The registration fee is $399 for NASBP members, affiliates, and associates, and there is a special discount for NASBP's 5-15 Leadership Committee. Fees include all classes, class materials, assessments, and continental breakfast. Attendees are responsible for their own travel, hotel accommodations, and all other incidental expenses.
