Ken Grant is here to present The 10 Layers of Servant Leadership.

In the dynamic world of management, the adage “employees don’t leave their company, they leave their boss” rings true. Recognizing this, The 10 Layers of Servant Leadership presentation was crafted to empower managers to excel daily. This course transcends traditional corporate training by integrating human and interpersonal skills that complement technical expertise. It’s designed to bolster support for managers while fostering a culture of engagement among employees and customers.

HSMAI’s Sales Leader Forum is the place for sales leaders to get critical insights on important issues.”
