Here are just a few:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lead with your values and stay true to your values<\/li>\n<li>Communication and knowing your people is key to impact<\/li>\n<li>An impactful leader is recognizable by the leaders he develops<\/li>\n<li>Having a positive impact means going beyond your own interests and using your competences in the service of society; not just money, but time and brainpower too<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s a balancing act: having the vision to lead the organization without losing touch with day to day operations<\/li>\n<li>Learn to let go of some of the things you love to do \u2013 let others take them over so that you can go to the next level<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unanimously, the group felt that their answers to this question were different now, after doing the EMBA program, than they would have been before.<\/p>\n<p>This was an excellent start to a full day of learning that included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the launch of EMBA McGill-HEC alumni affinity groups<\/li>\n<li>a CEO Panel on \u201cMaking the Tough Calls\u201d with Robert Card, CEO of SNC Lavalin and Michael Roach, CEO of CGI.<\/li>\n<li>a series of four learning sessions, on e-Leadership, Neuro-marketing, Conflict resolution, and Communicating for Impact<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The day concluded with a keynote speech by Bernard Voyer, an accomplished explorer and mountaineer who has been to both the north and south poles and has scaled the highest mountain on each continent. He used his own experiences to illustrate how each of us could go \u201cStep by step, towards the summit\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It was a powerful day, where connections were renewed, and new connections were forged, between an impressive group of alumni, including more than 30 CEO and company presidents, leaders in non-profit organizations, businesses owners and senior executives.\u00a0 We\u2019re already looking forward to the next event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cEven though you don\u2019t know the people you\u2019re sitting with, you know them\u201d.\u00a0 That was the magic of last week\u2019s EMBA reunion and learning event.\u00a0 Participants from five alumni classes and the current class joined together for the first time as one group and discussed with an energy and openness [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":8829,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,5],"tags":[56,53,60,59,57,3702856,52,58,51,54],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8828"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8828"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8831,"href":"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8828\/revisions\/8831"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
