Translating Change into Sustainable Actions: Developing (and Becoming) Change Leaders
Being a change leader requires advanced, and occasionally conflicting, capabilities. Leading change can no longer be considered as a "nice-to-have" skill but as one that is essential for managing uncertainty. You will leave with an understanding of the three components of leading change - understand, act and anchor - and how to recognize and confront barriers to success within each of these components. Austin offers practical actions to help you drive change and develop change leaders.
