Business Leaders' Breakfast Focusing on 'Inspiring Trust'
11/10/2009
AURORA, Ill. — "Inspiring Trust," the first of three breakfast panel discussions on leadership, will be held at 7:30 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 20, at Hotel Arista, 2139 CityGate Lane in Naperville.
The public is invited. Admission is $25 per person. Co-sponsors are Aurora University's Dunham School of Business and the Aurora Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Panelists scheduled are Mike Hensley, vice president of sales for NetScout Systems, Naperville, who manages a 100-plus sales force serving Fortune 500 companies in the high-technology arena; Terry Emmel, vice president and general manager of FONA International, a provider of intelligence, innovation, and technology solutions focused on new flavor ideas and consumer-preferred products; and Gloria Bunce, executive director CASA Kane County, a nonprofit, volunteer organization that advocates for abused and neglected children in the juvenile and probate court systems.
The moderator will be Shawn Green, director of AU's Dunham School of Business. He said, "Effective, successful leadership is based on a number of variables, not the least of which is trust between leaders and followers.
"Leaders, and aspiring leaders, know that each team member must understand his or her role and responsibilities. The leader's role in building a successful team is to create an environment of trust that all team members embrace. Our panel of experts will discuss where leadership starts, how it evolves in turbulent times, and effective tools to establish trust."
The breakfast series continues with "Leading Effective Teams," on Feb. 12 and "Creating a Healthy Leadership Strategy" on May 14.
