    Tactics for Change Leaders

    Change is a process, not an event. The real challenge comes during implementation when changes in behavior are required to support the critical business goals. Desired behavioral shifts need to happen at the leadership, team and individual levels, such as increased personal accountability, more transparency and cross-functional teamwork. Resistance to change is always part of the process. The most important X factor in making change happen is the ability of the change leader to stay focused, objective and de-stressed when dealing with the typical frustrations, disappointments and resistance associated with change. In this webinar we will discuss these challenges and learn practical tactics. 1. The emotional roadmap for making change happen 2. The culture factor and how different cultures react to change 3. Recognizing and de-escalating resistance 4. The multiple behavioral roles of change leadership 5. Influence agility

    Today’s organization issues and needs are a new playing field for most leaders, professionals and consultants. The list of phenomena driving changes keeps growing.

Today, when we’re grasping the morass of the environment, formulating strategy, creating new organizations that can deliver and executing the needed behaviors, increasingly deep understanding of how the business needs show up, human capital, organization systems and change are essential to create sustainable solutions.

    The 3rd Order: How Great Organizations Use Genetics and Death-Zones To Survive and Succeed

    HR and organizational development professionals today feel more pressure for producing strategic, versus operational, results than ever before. It's a difficult spot to be in as CEOs emerge from the recession asking the tough questions: •Where are all the new leaders we should be getting from our leadership development efforts? •Why are our change programs failing to produce change? •How come our OD efforts can't stop the politics? Don Schmincke’s refreshing perspective addresses these issues using scientific, yet provocative, alternatives to modern leadership hype. The hidden solutions revealed through anthropology, evolutionary genetics, and death-zone altitudes will shock you. Based on his books, "The Code of the Executive" and “High Altitude Leadership”, Don irreverently and humorously dispels “program-of-the-month” theories and replaces them with revolutionary, controversial insights.

    Delivering Business Impact in the New Economy

    The new economic environment has been described as “tough”; “catastrophic”; “devastating”; and “historic” among other things. It can also be described as a reset, a re-definition and therefore an opportunity for the strongest businesses to not only survive, but to prosper over the longer term. What’s your role in this environment as an HR / OD professional (or as a line manager)? You simply must be able to demonstrate how you are making a significantly positive impact on your company’s current performance, or else run the risk of being viewed as irrelevant. Greg Waldron discusses the results-based approach, derived from principles originally expounded in Ram Charan, Steve Drotter, and Jim Noel’s book "The Leadership Pipeline" that he has applied as an HR head and consultant that improves an organization’s capability to implement business strategy.
