2024 ACA Nashville Program Book_154th Congress of Correction

Thursday, August 15th • 12:30 PM - 2 PM • Room 201-A THE TRAIN IS MOVING… BUT WHO IS DRIVING?

DR. ANTHONY VANN

Chief Financial Officer North Carolina Department of Adult Correction Raleigh, NC

We have all heard the cry, “somebody’s got to be the boss,” and I suppose no one would seriously disagree. But it is dangerous to confuse the chain of command or table of organization with who is really running or influencing the organization. Ladies and Gentlemen, your title alone no longer gets the job done! Newsflash .... authority does not always equal influence. However, influence drives the train! This session will explore how managers can improve their influence skills by developing the right leadership habits and best practices!! Leaders who practice high road leadership value all people, do the right things for the right reasons, take accountability for their actions, and place people above their own agenda.
