Chapel Hill, NC (PRWEB) June 27, 2014 -- Altos Ejecutivos, the Colombia office of Career Partners International, hosted an event to celebrate 21 years of business success.
Ines Pardo, equity owner and Senior Manager at Career Partners International - Colombia, in partnership with Patricia Tovar, Director of the Camara de Comercio Colombo Britanica, invited Jorge Silva Lujan, General Manager of Microsoft – Colombia, one of the world’s major technology leaders, to speak about the requirements needed to be a true leader in an organization. Approximately 100 industry leaders interested in leader development and developing the cultures and values within their organizations attended the event.
Silva Lujan shared his belief in the ability of people to lead by principles, such as honesty and transparency, and to recognize and develop leadership skills in others.
