General Session on Day 3 of ATEC11

Day 3 of the Annual Technical and Educational Conference started off with the presentation of The Leader’s Voice.  This was an informative discussion which focused on finding a balance between the emotional, factual and symbol aspects of leadership.  There was a recognition that emotion cannot be taken out of leadership, but must be considered and even utilized to improve leadership skills.  With that, there still must be efforts to present facts in relevant ways.  Well crafted use of the metaphor (symbols or storytelling) is a powerful tool of leadership as well.

The session ended a bit early, which gave attendees time to socialize between the beginning of the breakout presentations.
