Leadership often requires confidence and resilience, but many leaders unknowingly rely on protective behaviors, or "masks," that can limit their effectiveness. While these patterns may have helped them succeed, they can also create challenges for communication, team engagement, and growth.
In this session, Eric Himes will introduce The 50 Masks of Leadership, a research-based framework that helps leaders identify common behavioral patterns and understand their impact on workplace performance. Attendees will gain practical insights into their own leadership style and learn how greater self-awareness can lead to stronger, more authentic leadership.
In this session, you'll learn:
• What leadership masks are and why leaders develop them
• How to identify common leadership patterns that may be holding you back
• The concept of the "Mask Tax" and its impact on teams and organizations
• Practical steps to become a more authentic and effective leader
This session is ideal for business owners, executives, managers, team leaders, and emerging leaders looking to strengthen their leadership impact.
