Adapt or Die: When Failure is An Option
Companies are losing their Fortune 500 status at an alarming rate and senior leaders are to blame. Sound harsh? Maybe it's time to put our egos and hurt feelings aside and take a long hard look at the legacy today's leaders are leaving behind. We'll examine studies that demonstrate the critical nature of employee engagement, the link to turnover and increased costs as well as put a spotlight on what happens to creativity in homogenous workplaces. We'll make the connection between employee engagement and diversity, equity and inclusion so that leaders can underscore their role in creating workplaces that work for all.
Learning Objectives:
- An understanding of organizational change.
- How work has evolved and the role that leaders play in organization failure.
- Why leaders are failing to meet expectations and what the disconnect is between senior leaders, teams and the organization as a whole.
In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
