EBIG Start-Ups/VCs SIG - How to Become a Remarkable Leader July 9, 2007

What does it take to be a remarkable leader? For two years, Dr. Keith Merron has been conducting in depth interviews with dozens of remarkable leaders throughout North America to get at the heart and soul of what extraordinarily leadership is all about. This research forms the basis of his upcoming book called The Golden Flame: Searching for the Heart and Soul of Remarkable Leadership.

In this presentation, Dr. Merron shares his personal quest to understand the essential ingredients that make up great leadership and invites participants to get to the heart of what matters. This presentation highlights the three most important factors that define great leadership and differentiates great leaders from the rest of the pack. Through discovering these factors and articulating them in an engaging, thought provoking way, this talk will not only tantalize ones thoughts and reach into your soul, it will invite you to connect to the great leader within.
