    Imagine you’ve been tapped to lead a new project, initiative, or organizational change. You will need to lead others throughout this assignment. What does effective leadership look like in this situation? When the pressure is on, and your reputation is on the line, what are you going to do to get results?

    Historically, success for leaders in this situation has focused on strategies like taking orders, getting the best talent, and then telling that talent what to do. More and more, this traditional form of leadership isn’t fast enough to keep up with the rate of change and the evolution of tools and skills available to achieve results. Success in our emerging business environment will require a different leadership mindset.

    This webcast explains why traditional leadership is no longer aligned with today’s workforce, and how to reframe your leadership mindset to focus on the skills of creating safety, creating clarity, and driving improvement. At the end of the webcast, we discuss practical techniques that you can use to promote these skills and reframe your leadership mindset.
