How to be an Impact Player

If you want to become a better leader, there are thousands of books you could read. But perhaps Dolly Parton can save you some time, at least in clarifying your aims.

"If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more,” the inimitable singer once said, “then you are an excellent leader."

The real question is, how do you grow your influence to inspire others?

We have three new original conversations to inspire you in this month’s issue of the Conference in Your Inbox newsletter.?

So we bought food and sleeping bags and sent them through the Turkish Embassy. Our CEO flew down with a plane full of baby formula and sleeping bags, delivered them in person, and helped people distribute food. Then, we decided to build a school with our collected funds,” said Jasna Mihelj Coustaury, General Manager of European Operations for Plume Design, Inc., in Slovenia. Read the conversation here.
