Karen Schmidt is one of our fabulous guest speakers at the Ascend leadership development days for senior women in Brisbane on 17 February and has a raft of experience when it comes to growing engaging leaders.  According to Karen, the key to unlocking the discretionary effort that lies within your employees is simple: give them the right leader and engagement will occur naturally.

Karen has authored an e-book outlining the 10 keys to growing managers into engaging leaders, including how to build an engaging culture, picking leaders for the right reasons, eliminating bad habits in your workplace and removing barriers to help your leaders grow.  You can get your hands on free copy by signing up for Karen’s newsletter (which by the way is one of the very few e-newsletters I actually read!) – click here for more info.
