Abstract

This oral session will utilize the foundational principles reflected in the book Leaders Open Doors by Bill Treasurer to provide Research Managers and Administrators with resources that can be utilized with their respective teams. Great leadership is not hierarchical but dependent on people-led initiatives to provide desired outcomes. Leaders provide these opportunities through open-door leadership to enable and empower teams. Leaders can provide a collaborative, transparent and energized environment that can help people and organizations grow. The goal of this interactive session is to show how you can have a positive and transformational impact on the people you lead.

The objectives will focus on:
• The meaning of open-door leadership
• Focusing on opportunities versus problems
• The benefits of purposeful discomfort
• Opening doors for others
• Personal transformation
