TFG Craft of Business Summit Series: Servant Leadership & Managing Ourselves with ZingTrain

Strong leadership and innovative management practices have been key to Zingerman’s success. In an era of increased competition and a tighter labor market, a positive company culture and identity, together with an inspiring vision for the future, can have an enormous impact on customer and staff loyalty -- and it’s the leader who creates the culture. In this workshop, we will share Zingerman’s management philosophies, based on the concepts of Servant Leadership, a management approach that focuses on the leader’s role in serving the organization as a whole. We will also share key tools and tips for Managing Ourselves, premised on the idea that being able to manage and modify your impact as a leader is all but guaranteed to yield more productive, effective work. Filled with real life stories and practical information you can apply in your every day life, this workshop will leave you energized and inspired to focus on yourself as the next step to taking your business to the next level.

Session objectives: by the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Explore the management philosophy that has been successful at Zingerman’s.
2. Use new skills and knowledge to improve their bottom-line performance as managers and leaders.
