What's Your Leadership Stance?
Great leaders know how to adjust their approach based on what their teams need in the moment. This webinar introduces four practical leadership stances, Lean In, Lean Back, Lean With, and Don’t Lean—and shows how each one can strengthen teamwork, problem-solving, and morale. Through real examples from senior living operations, interactive exercises, and guided reflection, attendees will learn how to recognize their default stance, spot when a shift is needed, and lead with more clarity, confidence, and adaptability.
