Simon Copsey | From Diapers to Delivery: Parenting Lessons for Effective Management

Management, Leadership, Culture, Flow
Parenthood often arrives with little time for preparation. Our idea of “good” parenting usually involves emulating what we have observed in others, while hoping we will not cause any lasting harm to our children.Stepping into a managerial role can feel remarkably similar: we often rely on mimicking the behaviors we have seen in others, even when we know this may be imperfect or uncomfortable.Fortunately, there is a science to becoming a better manager, and we can draw inspiration from our experiences as parents or children.In this talk, Simon Copsey demonstrates a systematic method for improving one’s approach to management, helping participants get closer to becoming the manager they aspire to be.
