High Stakes Leadership

Obviously, an organization’s C-suite needs to champion change initiatives from the top, with visibility and sincerity. But (with all due respect) it’s more important for leaders at all levels of the organization to know how to support and champion strategy and culture changes, to build engagement, dialogue, and aligned understanding.

This webinar will be an inside look at how change management experts think about planning and implementing organizational ‘shifts’ that matter. The webinar will also include practical exercises (read: Be ready for breakout groups), so that we can more closely focus on:

• Why change is hard,
• The steps to identify and overcome barriers to change, and
• How you can leverage these insights to lead change in your organization
