Is Your Next Generation of Leaders Ready to Step Up?
Develop Essential Skills at the Leadership Development
Conference
Chicago, Ill.—November 4, 2010—Companies
operating in the power transmission/motion control (PT/MC) channel are
expert at training salespeople – but the skills that make a
top-notch salesperson are very different from the qualities expected in
a leader. The leading association serving the PT/MC industry, the Power
Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA), is helping its members
groom the next generation of talent by tapping Joe Ellers, the
distribution and manufacturing industry's leading expert in developing
and training leaders, to offer the 2011 Leadership Development
Conference.
Held March 21-22, 2011, at the New York - New York Hotel & Casino
in Las Vegas, Nev., the Leadership Development Conference develops the
skill sets that upcoming leaders need to effectively manage people,
processes and relationships. The 2011 program features four distinct but
interlocking sections:
-
Take Your Leadership Skills to the Next Level
-
Managing Margins: A Joint Effort
-
Making Money Together: Profitable Distributor/ Manufacturer
Relationships
-
Making Process Work for You: Sales Strategies for Today’s
Market
"Having attended the conference the past two years, I have found it
very beneficial. The topics covered and discussed have been very
helpful to me in the field in dealing with various distributor
partners,” said Todd Lindow, regional manager for Drives, LLC.
Co-located with PTDA's Mid-Winter Meetings, participants in the
conference will build connections not only with their peers but also
with PTDA's Board of Directors, committee and council volunteers.
The IFPE: International Exposition for Power Transmission (co-located
with CONEXPO-CON/AGG) will also be in Las Vegas immediately after the
conference. Locating all of these events together helps maximize
networking opportunities and travel budgets.
"As a first-time attendee to the Leadership Development Conference
[in 2010], I found the seminars to be not only informative and very
relative to our industry, but they also presented some excellent
networking opportunities. I would highly recommend participation for
anyone looking to refresh their skills and meet other successful leaders
in the power transmission industry," said Craig Bobbie, director of
business development for PTM Industries Inc.
