Leadership & Vulnerability: A Journey of Awareness, Reflection, and Commitment

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, GA
The Yardstick Management team turned a dream into a reality gathering a diverse group of people leaders in picturesque St. Simons Island (at The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort) for the inagural Yardstick Management Institute. Our journey to redefine leadership commitment in an ever changing global landscape was one that opened our eyes to the power of vulnerability and an experience we will never forget!
