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

•             Shifting 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.
