Leading Through Change During the Ever-Shifting Phases of the Next Normal

The world is full of advice right now on how we should look at our jobs and manage them differently – from leadership styles and personal interactions, to making decisions and communicating with our teams. But in this time of constant change, should we be tempted to change what works, or confirm that our fundamentals are still on track?

Join Dean Savoca as he walks through some reflections and offers some strategies that can help you navigate today’s version of the next normal.

  • Explore the Journey Through Change model
  • Identify leadership fundamentals that still work
  • Reflect on some specific questions for deeper insight and relevance
