February is now UConn Alumni Career month! The UConn Austin Alumni Network invites alumni, friends and family to their first annual Elevate event on February 7th. Come learn and network with us as John Brady, Founder and Executive Director of Protem Partners talks to us about careers and working to enhance our ever changing professional landscape.
This session is designed for professionals who lack formal authority over teams of people upon whom they rely to meet their work objectives.
Work places have fewer layers of management, less rigid norms in terms of work location/work hours, increased expectations of teams dispersed over multiple time zones, and more consultants, vendors, contractors and others who are not in the traditional pyramid-shaped organizational reporting structure. Younger professionals are also increasingly held accountable for work with colleagues who may be at a higher pay band and have more experience. Getting the job done while still being seen as collaborative is critical to getting opportunities for promotion and visibility.
This discussion will help us to:
* The concept of “lateral leadership” and the skills that comprise it
* Gaining commitment instead of just compliance
* Building relationship capital before, during and beyond project deliverables
Light food will be served, and open beer & wine bar will be available - this is a FREE event. Register below to let us know you're coming!
