Managing change and pursuing innovation is not a new topic. Many in the leadership ranks have had numerous development opportunities on these topics and yet our teams are at times battle fatigued, remaining unaligned with overall strategic objectives and ill-prepared to deliver on organization goals in workplaces of the near future. So, what’s next? How can leaders go beyond just ensuring that change is least disruptive to their people and instead deliver up ready, willing, and able teams who can ensure that change is least disruptive to the business? How can leaders move their teams beyond surviving change and instead make the call to greatness so that their teams are thriving in changing times, fueling innovation, and fully aligned with the strategies of their organizations? In this session, Cy will teach the model of business readiness – a proactive approach to ensuring that teams are ready for what’s next and that individuals are highly resilient to adapt to changing times without self-sacrifice or burnout. You will leave with practical techniques and tools to incorporate in your daily practices that align your teams with organizational direction and shift energy from “why we can’t” to “how we could”.
