Leadership matters. That’s why the Chamber started its first leadership program over 40 years ago. The Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation helps people learn to be great leaders in Colorado — from young college leaders to old people like me — we all have something to learn. You can learn more about the Foundation’s work at denverleadership.org.
Here are a few leadership resources to inspire and encourage as you start your week.
Adam Grant: The surprising habits of original thinkers. (Procrastinators: this one’s for you.)
Itay Talgam: Lead like a great conductor. (A nod to the right brain thinkers out there and of course the importance of the arts in our life.)
Brene Brown: The power of vulnerability. (This one’s for me — her perspective on vulnerability has really impacted my own leadership style.)
Check out these three helpful leadership articles:
I’m a big believer that I can and must constantly improve myself — there is ALWAYS something for me to learn. And, maybe that is my greatest lesson in leadership — we all can improve. That brings us back to why our Chamber formed the Foundation. We hope you will take advantage of the incredible work happening there; travel to Northern Colorado with us on Colorado Experience May 5-6, apply for Impact Denver’s Fall 2016 class or apply to be a part of Leadership Denver’s 2017 class.
Kelly Brough is president and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.
