Wednesday March 10th - Topic: Effective leadership through change
Speaker: Thom Cody
Thom Cody of Pathmakers joined us in March to discuss the change process and how to work through it. As you move through the 4 stages, initiation, confusion, clarity and launching, there are constant internal and external drivers tempting you to opt-out. Understanding the 9 barriers and how to overcome them will assist you and your team in maintaining focus. As you work through the process, remember the regulating tension will always remain at the center to ensure non-complacency. So, the next time your company declares a reorganization, remember the stress is necessary and the more you prepare for the 9 barriers, the more smoothly your change process will run.
