Sprin Conference - Keynote Speaker
"Leadership Redefined" (Lead by Influence) 
- Dave Weber

Leadership used to be defined by position or title, responsibility or authority. But that definition is far too narrow for the challenges facing education today. The truth is, the time has come for a new kind of leader, a leader who guides through 'influence'. 

Dave o utlines 12 key principles that will help you grow your own leadership capacity, bringing about systemic change in your organization, and usher in real success.
