Transformational Leadership: How to Lead Yourself, Your
Team, and Your Organization (3-Part Series)
Part 3: Learning to Drive Meaningful Change
Date and Time: September 14th, 2021
10am PT / 11am MT /12pm CT / 1pm ET for one hour
Webinar Summary: Every leader must be a change agent to
survive and thrive. Great leadership goes beyond transforming yourself and
others; it also involves changing your organization. Driving meaningful change
in your department or correctional institution does not happen overnight.
It requires a strong leader who acts as an agent of change
with the desire to collaborate and the heart to identify and implement
sustainable solutions for organizational improvement. In this webinar, you will
explore how you push past the paradigm that says, “That’s the way we’ve always
done it.” To change behavior, you must be a leader who can affect change in
people’s behavior. Tools and techniques for effectively leading change will be
introduced, and you will be challenged to identify one or more initiatives that
you can undertake to move your organization to the next level.
Takeaways

from transactional to transformational leadership is the key to taking your
department, institution, or agency to the next level.
• Change
agents have the ability to manage crisis and readily adapt to shifting
conditions in the workplace.
• Sustainable
change involves looking at the entire system and not just the individual parts.
