Welcome and Introduction

Hire slow, fire fast

This is an old concept in business that you should hire slow and fire quickly. It means that you should take your time when bringing someone into your organization. On the flip-side, if it's not working out, let the person go without delay.

Panel discusion: Calvin Howards & Richard Alonderbridge

Evaluating leaders: what is a good leader and how do we know it?

Effective leaders inspire and empower their team members to become the best they can be, as well as achieve common goals. But how do you define a good leader? What are their universal traits and skills that ensure their success?

Panel discusion: Nicolle Zagrebbing & Robert Clarisson
