“Ninety percent of the challenges leaders face are adaptive; ninety percent of the training they receive is technical.”
– Dan Ciampa
In researching why change is so challenging and why most change initiatives fail, Ki ThoughtBridge has discovered a huge chasm between the reality of change and the perception of change. The result is that the ways in which we prepare leaders to respond to change and to help lead others through change is woefully inadequate. Change is never easy, but it is impossible without the right kind of leadership.
This webinar will provide participants with resources offering a clear understanding of the three phases of change and the impact on individuals and systems. A framework that integrates both and provides the specific strategies necessary for leaders to navigate through the complexity and challenges of change will be described.
