Transformation Leadership in Action

Leading and driving change in our companies, organizations, and teams can be as difficult as pushing a wet rope uphill! Even with the best processes and best tools in place, we may not achieve our business and customer satisfaction goals because our work environment is stuck in the status quo. Ultimately transforming an organization is about changing culture. Culture is influenced by our values, beliefs, goals, assumptions, purpose, priorities, and other factors. Therefore, transformational Leadership is a key ingredient in driving cultural change. Join Mike Sowers to learn more about the key attributes of being a Transformational Leader. Mike discusses the key attributes of an influential leader and change agent: vision, communication, trust, feedback, and results. Leave with an understanding of Transformational Leadership in action, practical examples of driving change, and insights on how you can close the gaps in your influential leader and change agent skills to increase your contribution to accelerating change in your company
