Leadership: A People Business

"Step up: Transform Your Company, Your Industry and Your Impact. That is the theme of this week’s Women in Cable Telecommunications Leadership Conference — and it’s at the core of WICT’s mission to develop female leaders who transform our industry.

That is valid and necessary. The WICT Leadership Conference, however, is concerned with the individuals that drive the bottom line of the cable business: the eager novice, the emerging leader, the established executive. "

Read the complete article, "Leadership: A People Business," by Benita Fitzgerald Mosley in this week's Multichannel News.

WICT's new conference is the leadership conference for the industry. Step up to learn how business leaders thrive in challenging business situations, the trends they are seeing that affect your success.  Achieve greater impact through strategies acquired from business leaders inside and outside the industry with a wide range of expertise, including technical, marketing, programming, public affairs and human resources—among others—who will focus on how they exceed expectations, sustain high powered leadership, turn obstacles into opportunities, and lead through innovation.

You can still register for the WICT Leadership Conference, which kicks off tomorrow, March 7.  Go to www.wictconference.org to sign up.
