Kristen Tardif presents during a leadership conference in India. |
Dr. Kristin Tardif, assistant professor of organizational leadership at the University of Arkansas 鈥� Fort Smith, shared her extensive knowledge in the field of leadership when she served as the keynote speaker for a conference in India earlier this month.
Tardif presented at an international human resources conference, 鈥淟eadership Challenges of Human Capital in a Digital Workplace,鈥� organized by the K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research located in Mumbai.
Her speech focused on creative leadership and divergent decision making to guide companies through the uncertainties of the digital age and to build a quality workplace, topics where she has focused her research during her academic career.
In addition to the keynote address, Tardif also oversaw a workshop for faculty and students focused on leadership and communicating and performing effectively as virtual teams in the modern digital world.
鈥淚t was a huge honor,鈥� she said of the experience. 鈥淭he institute is one of the top-ranking schools in India, so I was humbled to be able to speak in front of such an esteemed group of faculty, students, human resources business executives and scholars from all over India, Indonesia, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.鈥�
A 12-year veteran in the corporate affairs section of Nestle, Tardif was asked to be the keynote speaker by Richard Coyle at Cornell University, a former colleague from her corporate career.
Tardif said she hopes her talk at the institute is the beginning of a collaborative relationship between K.J. Somaiya and 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播.
