Join us at the SF State Downtown Campus on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, from 5:30 p.m.- 7 p.m. (PT) for a talk on Leadership with Soul with guest speaker André Lacroix, CEO at Intertek. Refreshments will be provided.

André will share his leadership principles, honed over a 25-year period in top leadership roles. He believes these 10 principles are necessary for any leader in any organization to deliver value for all stakeholders in the short, medium, and long term.
André is passionate about helping people to progress in their own careers, which is part of what drove him to write his book, Leadership with Soul. He hope that Leadership with Soul will inspire those who read it to understand that good leadership holds the key to making our workplaces better, more productive, and more sustainable for all.
Leadership with Soul challenges conventional leadership thinking, asking leaders to listen to their humanist side and create significant value for all by simply putting people at the heart of their growth strategy, trusting, empowering and galvanising them to execute on a daily basis.
