Session: Quick Leadership: Build Trust, Navigate Change, and Cultivate Unstoppable Teams
What does it take to lead a team that truly runs on trust—not fear? In today’s fast-moving workplaces, top leaders know how to cultivate psychological safety, share power instead of hoarding it, and inspire a deep sense of ownership in others. This session, based on Selena Rezvani’s upcoming book Quick Leadership: Build Trust, Navigate Change, and Cultivate Unstoppable Teams (Wiley, November 2025), offers actionable tools to lead with clarity, flexibility, and purpose. Attendees will learn how to strengthen team cohesion, respond to failure with growth in mind, and create conditions where people speak up, lean in, and thrive. Whether you're an ambitious professional or a seasoned manager, you’ll leave equipped with practical strategies to foster a culture that’s bold, inclusive, and built to last.
