PSMA Northern California Chapter's popular leadership seminar - Step Up to Leadership - will kick off this year with Dr. Karen Stephenson delivering the keynote address. Setting the tone for the next two days, Dr. Stephenson will describe how we can foster and take advantage of our employees' social networks to advance and grow our businesses. Corporate anthropologist and frequent lecturer at Harvard and MIT's Sloan School of Management, Dr. Stephenson studies the impacts informal networks among people have on company performance.
