Abstract: Ben Friedman, NOAA’s Deputy Under Secretary for Operations (DUSO), will share some of the invaluable leadership insights he’s gained during his tenure as NOAA’s longest-serving DUSO. He will discuss his overarching leadership philosophy, the art of aligning one’s skill set with the right leadership roles, and the evolving complexity of decision-making as one ascends the leadership ladder. Ben plans to talk through how each step upward widens your circle of influence, presenting a broader spectrum of agency considerations. Attendees will gain a unique perspective on high-level decision-making, where the view necessitates choices that prioritize the collective good of all NOAA over individual missions or groups.
