During this webinar, attendees will gain insight from former ASCRS presidents as they discuss their PACE personality test results and how varying perspectives contribute to effective management. The past presidents will reflect on how their leadership styles correlate with their cognitive processes, articulation of ideas, and discernment in decision-making contexts. Which leadership style best fits you?

This session aims to empower participants to:

  1. Discern and appreciate a spectrum of leadership styles.
  2. Comprehend the distinct advantages associated with varying leadership styles.
  3. Articulate the merits intrinsic to a collaborative approach to leadership.

The session will conclude with time allocated for questions.

This topic will be further elaborated upon in our upcoming Surgical Leadership Institute workshop, scheduled to convene in San Diego on February 2-3, 2024.
