In the ever-changing world in which we work, adapting and evolving is crucial to any company’s success. As such, leaders are compelled to try new things, take risks and embrace change.
How do you ensure your team is on board with this? Formulating a plan and keeping an eye on the end goal is all well and good, but making staff feel valued and that their input is appreciated is also vital. Not only that, but understanding who will be your champions and who might be against new ideas can mean the difference between a favourable outcome and failure.
In this Senior Leadership Academy workshop, our expert speaker will delve into the subject of change and how to help your team navigate it.
How do you make sure that everyone is part of the conversation around changing culture for the better? Should leaders alter their approach when dealing with different strands of diversity? And how can you ensure your organisation isn’t just paying lip service to a set of ‘values’, but really embodying and communicating them in the working environment?
KEYNOTE: Speaker to be revealed soon
Our workshop will start with an expert on leading cultural change sharing how they made a difference in their business.
