No matter which way you look at it - diverse teams are better at everything. The way we do business today is completely different from how we did it a year ago, or even three months ago - and so you need your team at the top of their game.

Encouraging your team to be their true selves so they can do their best work is only half of it. How do you also create an atmosphere that fosters this feeling? How do you become an authentic leader, and lead by example to get your workplace in the right place?

Join Jaime Kronick from Iterable and Jess Klek from SalesLoft for this digital panel where we will discuss what authentic leadership actually is, and how you can use it to lead your team and workplace into being the best they can be.
