Leadership Unfiltered 09.26.23

For centuries, our greatest thinkers, cutting-edge innovators, entrepreneurs and successful business leaders have shared a common trait

…they journal on a regular basis.

They document their successes, make note of their most-significant failures, lay out their strategies, and, keep a list of their next big ideas.

On Tuesday, September 26, 2023, we invite FM-area executives, CEOs, Presidents, Founders – key decision makers – to join your friends and local colleagues for a candid conversation with some of our region’s top business leaders, as they share their real-life stories, professional experiences and personal insights.
We open up the journals.

What is leadership unfiltered?

Leadership unfiltered refers to leadership that is honest, transparent, and authentic. It involves leaders who are willing to be vulnerable, admit their mistakes, and share their personal experiences with their colleagues and their team.

Leadership unfiltered also involves leaders who are willing to have difficult conversations and make tough decisions, even if it means going against the norm or facing opposition. They prioritize open communication, encourage diverse perspectives, and foster a culture of accountability and trust within their organization.

Leadership unfiltered is about being true to oneself and leading from a place of integrity, even if it means being uncomfortable at times. It requires leaders to be courageous, empathetic, and resilient, and to constantly strive for personal and professional growth.
