Workshop Details

As dealing with change becomes a regular business activity, leading change becomes a skill to develop and master. Adapting a team and a business in today's world of "always on" transformation can be invigorating instead of exhausting.

Discover the steps to becoming an effective change leader through this enlightening look at organizational transformation.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Switch from being a change manager to a change leader

• Develop organizational flexibility
