A unique workshop for industry, business, and community leaders, featuring long time green building advocates, leaders and authors, Kathleen O'Brien and Ann Edminster.
A society in which a sustainably built environment is the norm would represent a dramatic change in thinking and practice. Are you called to create this change? One that "sticks"? Emergent leadership offers an approach uniquely suited to this work and more effective than conventional models. This workshop provides an overview of emergent leadership.
