In this rapidly changing and increasingly competitive world, leadership skills are in great demand. If RDs want to drive change in their organizations, shape their profession, be considered trailblazers, or be successful at any level of their organizations, they must be able to lead, inspire, and empower people to take action to achieve a common goal. This presentation will help RDs discover their strengths as leaders; define methods to build on those strengths; realize how their organizations’ vision, mission, and values are essential to success; determine ways to engage others to assist in achieving the vision; and take action toward the organization’s goals so RDs can create a dramatic impact in areas that are important for success and fulfillment in their lives and careers.
