Leadership in event management is not easy. Organizing events involves dozens of little details and tasks that are each vital to their success. It is only natural to get bogged down in the details, trying to get the next event over the line.
In that case, the focus is commonly operational. Is the event website published? What registration solution are we using? What channels are we using to promote the event?
Making sure nothing is left undone in the event management checklist is, understandably, a top priority. On top of that, putting out fires and dealing with crises also keeps event managers busy enough.
Yet, the risk is to only focus on the operational, to the detriment of strategy. To focus on the now and not on the future. To be only a manager, not a leader.
So, in that scenario, what does it take to go from being an event manager to being an inspiring leader? What qualities can event profs work on to improve their leadership in event management?
