Leadership is something that we all need in our lives. When you can’t find it in those around you then it’s time to dig deep and uncover your own leadership abilities. On this TAD Talks, we talk all about the skills and characteristics of dynamic leaders, how to navigate around poor leadership and how to unlock the power of your own leadership skills in your daily lives.

Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Way

TAD Talks is thrilled to have Jeffrey Dufresne, Chief Financial Officer of Employ Prince George’s join us in this latest episode. Jeff shares with us his answer to the Million Dollar Question. Many small workforce boards and non-profits operate with very little funding and much of it can be restricted to a very specific purpose. This hinders many workforce organizations from building capacity and serving their communities in areas that are critical to improving the socioeconomic environments in which they live and work. Jeff walks us through his strategies and principles for how workforce organizations can grow from a one million dollar budge to a multi million dollar power house for community impact.
