EXCLUSIVELY FOR DEC YOUNG LEADER MEMBERS

Unlocking Your Leadership Potential: EmbracingOpportunities and the Power of Teamwork in the New Era of AI and Automation CEOs hold the highest position of accountability in an organization. Strategic planning, impactful decision-making, and effective management are just some of their important responsibilities. But neither their career path nor their daily duties as leaders are accomplished on their own. Meet Ray Scott, President and CEO of Lear Corp., a Fortune 500 company. Ray will share how embracing challenges, continuously learning, and surrounding yourself with a diverse and talented team can help propel your career growth. Held inside Lear’s World Headquarters Product Showroom, this event will also provide an opportunity to learn about IDEA by Lear – the ambitious global initiative Ray introduced earlier this year to encourage Lear employees to “Think Differently, Move Quickly and Take Ownership” in an industry being rapidly transformed by artificial intelligence and automation.
