Leading From Your Center for Corporate Teams & ERGs
Leadership offsites · executive teams · employee resource groups
Translated for executive teams: irreversible decisions under pressure, leading when the answer isn't in the playbook, and what values-driven leadership looks like when it costs something. For ERG and company audiences, the refugee-to-mayor story lands as a direct conversation about who gets to lead.
What does it mean to lead from your center — to hold your values steady when the pressure to compromise is highest? Mike Elliott draws on decisions made under national scrutiny, pandemic emergency powers, and moments when the politically safe path and the right path diverged.
Grounded in a village upbringing in Liberia and tested in an American mayor's office, this talk is about the interior discipline of leadership: knowing what you won't trade, and being honest about what staying true actually costs.
What corporate teams & ergs take away
- A framework for making values-based decisions under pressure
- The real cost of holding a position — and when it's worth it
- How personal history shapes — and steadies — a leader
