Hier erfahren Sie, wie Sie die wichtigsten Qualitäten einer erfolgreichen Führungskraft in Konferenzen verkörpern können.

We have two ears and one mouth for a reason—to listen more than we speak. Here's how: Active Listening: Truly understand others by listening to their perspectives. Ask open-ended questions and value their input. Empathy: Show genuine interest in others' experiences. This fosters an inclusive environment where everyone feels heard and valued. Engagement: Share insights that add value without overshadowing others. Encourage diverse viewpoints for richer dialogue. Confidence: Balance empathy with assertiveness. Speak clearly and inspire others. Remember, leadership is about understanding and empowering others. By listening more and speaking with intention, you can lead effectively and make a lasting impact at any conference.

Another important aspect of vision casting is being able to relay that same message to your audience. Yesterday I posted the first of three blogs, here on LinkedIn, that share my vision for the upcoming Fin+AI 2024 Conference I am organizing. As this is a first-year groundbreaking event, I want to share my perspective on what I am focused on achieving, and what I’m creating. This industry segment is brand new, and theres tons of information swirling in the marketplace. I want to provide greater clarity through education, exposure, experience, and industry expertise. Financial services, enterprise and entrepreneurial executives need to know that the collision of fintech and artificial intelligence is redefining financial intelligence.

One thing I found helpful is to guide the vision. Plant the seed and watch others nurture and grow it! Put the vision out there and see where it becomes a reality.

Understanding each role and how it fits into the grand plan is essential to being able to cast that vision for each person. If you don't understand what their role entails, you can't expect them to understand by default. This requires you to think through each role from beginning to end, anticipating the questions that will be asked and where the hard to describe pieces fall into the discussion.

Effective planning is necessary for successful outcomes. It will allow you a roadmap to measure outcomes along the way. It will also provide you with a mechanism to determine when you need to pivot.

Keep notes throughout the planning process that reflect the points that caused struggles. Within a day or two of the event, make the time to evaluate the event as a whole. What went wrong, what went right, what was easier/harder than anticipated, and recommendations for the next event for improvements. This should be followed up with a timely greater organizational meeting with stakeholders and planners to review that list, and address their lists. A great tool for discussions is the Start, Stop, Continue exercise that can lead to productive discussions about changes and steps to take to implement those changes.

If your event relies on volunteers for workers, committees, and planning, be very willing to place people in positions that are NOT their daily jobs or careers. Many times these people have interests and hobbies that are completely unrelated to their work life that are very applicable to the success of an event. One of the best decorations chairs I ever had was an investment banker that had a deep interest and talent in interior design. Also, be willing to leave a position open if you aren't finding the right person for it. It causes more problems to place the wrong person into a position and have to remove them than to continue to search for the right person.
