Abstract: Ever wondered why sometimes writing a proposal and leading it to completion with your team is easier or harder? Our implicit and explicit leadership and communication styles and expectations all affect what types of problems we are good at solving and what types of solutions we are good at building. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn to recognize four different styles of leadership and problem solving and how that affects the proposal development process. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to identify strengths and weaknesses of these four styles, which one best fits you, and how your style affects your proposals, leadership, communication and team members.
