Effective Leadership Skills For Managers
Dr. Jairy Hunter Jr., president of Charleston Southern University, gave the opening keynote presentation, in which he discussed effective leadership skills. Visionary leaders, he said, function in four roles. They are direction setters—mission oriented and focused; they are change agents, setting high expectations and thinking strategically; they act as a spokesperson, generating trust and developing consensus; and they act as a coach, helping others to achieve peak performance and practicing hands-off management.
