Business is changing faster than ever- but your people aren't. You can't deny it. In fact, 70% of leaders expect industry disruption in the next three years (Mercer, 2019). Change is not just intellectual - it's emotional. If you want to achieve the change in your organization , you will need to help your people through it. That starts with change leaders. During this interactive session, we will engage in a discussion about one of the biggest challenges of leading in times of change - dealing with ambiguity. In small groups, we will use visuals and dialogue to explore how to identify and focus on what we can control,rather than what we can't. And how our mindsets can affect our teams' ability to adapt and thrive.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize that we can choose how we respond to change,
- Consider the consequences of the paths we take in response to change,
- Explore how the change choice consequence process may play out in specific change scenarios.
