Leading change in complex, hierarchical organizations can be challenging but is a core strength in a constantly changing world. It’s the way you use your power to reshape systems toward innovation, efficiency, and inclusion. This workshop is for those who want to become a transformational leader, and for already-skilled change leaders who want to take their abilities to the next level (you will learn advanced ninja psychological influencing strategies to accelerate buy-in and reduce the effort of overcoming resistance!). It incorporates all of the 4 “I’s” of transformational leadership theory: Intellectual stimulation, Individualized consideration, Inspirational motivation, and Idealized influence. Learnings can be applied to leading change at the level of your team, your organization, or your industry.
Learning Objectives:
- Articulate and embody your intention as a leader of change so you set the tone, stay grounded, and keep your confidence when you face resistance.
- Acquire practical strategies for building a vision and communicating change so you gain buy-in from stakeholders at all levels and inspire new directions.
- Overcome common obstacles to change, including resistance, inertia, and organizational politics.
