Fellow Amazing Leader Scores!

Fellow Amazing Leader Scores!

Application is the true test of a leaders ability to "practice what he or she preaches" so to speak. Today we have the plasure of celebrating a wonderful feat! I know it will undoubtably inspire us all as we move forward in our own lives! Never be afraid to attempt and accomplish similar objectives as  Stavros Michailidis has this month!

History

Stavros entered a competitive challenge in Brussels in a seminar known as The European Conference of Creativity and Innovation (ECCI). This year is the 11th Conference since 1987 because they hold similar conferences every two years. The European Association for Creativity and Innovation (EACI) hosts this conference with the purpose of facilitating cooperation and cross-fertilization of ideas and concepts between academics, business life and trainers, in the fields of creativity and innovation.

This year - ECCI XI

This year's focus was on "Implementation" and who better to get kudos at this convention than Stavros. He is a modest fellow, but while still in his thirties, he has done more than most in the field of business by starting and succeeding at building multiple million dollar ventures. But with Stavros, it is not about the money, nor is it for us at Amazing Leadership. It is about him being a leader in his field. And in this case, it is also about how his success in business, life, and even academic pursuits has proven to be his constant focus on the implementation of leaderhip. He is a true expert in the fields of business, creativity, and leadership!

The Work theme of this year's conference was: "When imagination, knowledge, and know-how have an effective meeting, we are ready for landing!" Most conferences explore diverging, exploring new methods, and ways of working to be more creative, but this year's theme is one that we Amazing Leaders can respect and appreciate -- ACTION! Out of many groups the best presentations were chosen by the conference member's votes. And Stavros, along with his partner Don Drost, was voted one of the five best!

This article is not about the theme of his presentation or even to try to explain it.  It is about the celebration and understanding the value of Stavros' (and his partner's) actions. They travelled halfway around the world to engage their brains and propose leadership principles to a group of their peers of business advisors, R&D managers, innovation managers, trainers, consultants, as well as academics from around the world in multiple career fields. What an accomplishment in itself to even participate at the conference! But then to be recognized as one of the five best presentations at the conference -- that goes above and beyond! He and his partner beat out countless other thinkers in their respective fields to become one of the best. He really has embodied the spirit of our Amazing Leadership group with his actions this month!

Do yourself a favor and take a look at the conference agenda and speakers for this year. Among the keynote speakers at this function were great thinkers and innovators such as Alberto Alessi ("godfather" of Italian product design), Edward De Bono (the global leading authority of creative and conceptual thinking), and Kobus Neethling (world renowned public speaker, corporate trainer and author).  For more information about the conference itself go to the following website: http://www.eccixi.eu/
