Grassroots Leadership by Andrew Castillo
Does a person need a title, authority or position to successfully lead?
Is it really possible to lead effectively from the grassroots level?
In this session, Andrew will examine real-life examples of effective grassroots leadership. He'll discuss the characteristics, strategies and tactics that are needed to lead from the position of a BA. Andrew will expand on the environment that fosters effective grassroots leadership, and what organizations and management can do to empower BA's to lead from where they are.
