Please join the Galante Engineering Business Program in welcoming Loredana Padurean, Associate Professor at D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University, as part of the Galante Seminar Series designed to deliver guided topical discussions, inspiring stories, and engaging workshops.
The content of this presentation will be in review of the concepts in her new book – The Job is Easy, the People Are Not – 10 Smart Skills to Become Better People – in which Prof. Loredana Padurean will frame qualities like humility, adaptability, and vulnerability as smart — not soft — skills to help leaders manage the most complex of variables: people. The event will feature engaging and interactive discussions in place of workshopping activities in which we will address together the challenges of working with people.
