Four Words That Can Make You a Great Leader
Featuring Morra Aarons-Mele, Author, “The Anxious Achiever” (2023) and “The Atypical Achiever” (2027)

Description

Forget the productivity hacks and one-size-fits-all leadership advice. The best leaders understand how they work best and then build around it. In this interactive workshop, best-selling author and Harvard Kennedy School executive education instructor Morra Aarons-Mele introduces ATAM: Attention, Time, Agency, and Motivation, the four forces that can determine whether you thrive at work or simply survive it. Through guided reflection and a hands-on exercise, you’ll uncover when your energy peaks, what actually holds your focus, how much autonomy you need, and what truly motivates you. You’ll leave with your own ATAM profile, a framework for spotting the mismatches that can lead to burnout, and one concrete change you can put to work Monday morning.
