Focus Clinic: Leading Change

Presented by: Randi Klein Greenberg

Date: Thursday, April 24, 2008

Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
 

This “hands-on” session will provide participants with a framework to assess their current situation, develop an expected future state, and select an effective transformation strategy. Participants will also learn how to determine which business issues are critical to making the change successful and how to effectively measure and communicate these tenants of the vision.

Finally, this session will also teach techniques to disarm change “blockers” and create an environment that builds energy and momentum to empower the team to change their perceptions and behaviors. These techniques are designed to prevent “backsliding” so that the team can “hold the gains.”

After this clinic you will be able to:

  • Identify and understand the consequences of the errors firms make when trying to implement change
  • Recognize the difference between management and leadership
  • Master the change process and the core pattern for successful change
  • Realize the values of an adaptive corporate culture
  • Emulate the habits of the lifelong learner
