December 12, 2014: Situational Leadership<\/span>
\nJessica Soban, Assistant Dean and Chief Admissions Officer, Harvard Law School<\/span>
\nVery often leadership development programs focus on the individual and not the relationship between the individual and those s\/he leads. It is important for leaders to understand that within any given group, the needs of those they are leading will be very different. This means the approach to leading each individual will vary. Good leaders must come to understand that, \u201cone size fits all\u201d does not apply to leadership. In the session, Jessica Soban will lead a conversation on the topic of situational leadership. As a former manager in the consulting firm Bain and Company, Jessica was able to observe the importance of situational leadership, which ultimately led to her becoming a manager within the company.<\/p>\n
