Guest Speaker Dr. Marshall Goldsmith Keynote Speaker General Hugh Shelton Dr. Goldsmith has worked with CEOs and other leaders of major corporations for decades. In his time in the corporate world, he has learned that while many diff erent types of people may make it into positions of leadership, only a select few are able to become truly great leaders. The key, in his opinion, is to reach out to understand and appreciate the viewpoints and insight that your employees might have. In Dr. Goldsmith’s words, “Successful people become great leaders when they learn to shift the focus from themselves to others.” General Shelton is a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff . He shared a story of a time when he was assigned to oversee a group of military off icers who were expected to clock in and clock out at designated times and were not given any sort of farewell when they left or recognition of any achievements they might have made. Shortly after arriving, General Shelton made some changes, such as having going-away parties and printing simple certificates of achievement. These were not major changes, but they were enough to increase productivity and job satisfaction significantly within his team. 2018 Leadership Conference Awards Tom Greene, GM LHM CJDR Boise, received the Larry H. and Gail Miller Values Award.
