Five Strategies for Leading Turbulent Times
Lok for new dates
9 a.m. - 4 p.m.; $349; Baldwin-Wallace, Berea
Instructor: Charleyse Pratt
During tough times we as individuals, and as leaders are tested. The practices that have made us successful in the past, may not have the same results today. Just as we winterize our home to adjust to the change in seasons, we as leaders also need to adjust our behaviors to the current economic season that has come upon our world. The challenge is, most of us have not experienced the extremes of this season in the past.
Attend this unique program that brings together five leaders and the practical experiences they share. This is not a traditional class. You will not learn about concepts that are successful, you will hear about experiences, lessons, and recommendations to help each of us lead in these turbulent times. Topics include leading through the processes of organizational changes including workforce reductions, handling new tests of integrity, managing multiple roles, and more.
