Summary of the seminar:
In recent years, it seems that change has come in unpredictable waves that are more frequent than in the past century, causing uncertainty regarding what to expect next. Organizations have not escaped the effects of environmental changes. General Motors, once one of the largest companies in the world, had to seek a bailout from the U.S. government in order to survive. Some financial institutions such as Lehman Brothers were not so lucky and were casualties of the global recession. And at the time of this writing, Toyota faces scrutiny from several governmental committees in Washington regarding the mishandling of a series of safety and quality problems. What is certain is that change is a business reality and there is no escaping this fact. And there appears to be no particular or universal style of leadership that is the answer to these problems. What can companies do? What can you do? This presentation will explore the implications for both companies and individuals in preparing for, embracing and managing change, with eye toward identifying some “best practices” that may be generalizable. Throughout this presentation, you will be challenged to think about how prepared you are to deal with change, and what your leadership agenda is with respect to understanding and managing the various changes you are and will be confronting throughout your career, both professionally and personally.
