General Colin Powell Addresses Industry Leaders at TANDBERG Executive Forum
NEW YORK, NY and OSLO, NORWAY, Nov 04, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
TANDBERG today kicked off its first TANDBERG Executive Forum with
special guest host General Colin L. Powell USA (Ret.) invited to
speak on "Leadership: Taking Charge." Using TANDBERG's Telepresence
T3 executive rooms, an exclusive group of executives from the private
and public sectors gathered for a compelling speech on being a leader
during a time of great change and crisis, followed by a virtual
roundtable and open dialogue on the topic.
One of the most admired men in America, the Honorable Colin L. Powell
has been a leader for most of his life, having led troops as a
military leader, as chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff and as
Secretary of State. But Gen. Powell believes a leader is more than
just his or her title. Drawing on examples garnered from experience
as both a leader on the world stage and as eyewitness to leadership
in action, Gen. Powell illustrates for audiences precisely what it
takes to be a leader, providing strategies for "taking charge" during
times of great change and great crises. Gen. Powell demonstrates how
to remain focused, take responsibility and work towards improving
processes, organizations and people.
"Leadership requires focus, responsibility and work during times of
crisis and change," said Larry Satterfield, President, Americas
Commercial Sector, TANDBERG. "At TANDBERG, we share this philosophy
and strive to help organizations evolve to a new way of working.
Face-to-face communication provides business leaders with the
opportunity to stay connected to their staff, make decisions at the
speed of thought and bring experts into a meeting at a moment's
notice. With telepresence and video conferencing technology,
businesses and agencies can improve communication lines and processes
to become leaders in their respected fields."
"Gen. Powell's words about leadership were inspiring," said Joel
Brunson, President of TANDBERG's Public Secor practice. "TANDBERG has
the unique challenge of leading change in the way people communicate,
and video enables this new way of working across every agency,
office, school, and hospital in the world."
The TANDBERG Executive Forum is designed to bring together senior
executives from both public and private organizations to develop
stronger leadership skills and exchange ideas on contemporary topics.
Powered by TANDBERG's Telepresence technology, attendees across the
country will be connected to share information on important current
issues and foster networking relationships at exclusive
invitation-only events hosted at one of the TANDBERG offices.
