General Colin Powell Addresses Industry Leaders at TANDBERG Executive Forum
NEW YORK, NY and OSLO, NORWAY, Nov 04 (MARKET WIRE) --
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
