State Your Assumptions: Analyzing Your Leadership Behaviours in Complex Situations

Many behaviours that help technical professionals succeed early in their careers—working hard, solving problems quickly, and taking personal ownership—are valuable strengths. However, as responsibilities expand, those same behaviours can sometimes become less effective. Under pressure, even highly capable professionals tend to fall back on the behaviours they rely on most.

This session provides a practical way to identify the behaviours you tend to default to and the factors that drive them. Rather than focusing on theory, we will explore real workplace situations relevant to professionals at different stages of their careers and consider how small adjustments in behaviour can improve clarity, alignment, and decision making.

Whether you are leading projects, managing teams, or influencing across functions, you will leave with a clear and practical plan.
