What you'll learn

Streamline your approach to transformation

Organize, unify, and activate teams to address challenges of any complexity.

Approach challenges from the other side

Start where the challenge is met, and leaders are better prepared to adapt it through changing conditions in the future.

Move from reactive to proactive as a leader of change

How to prepare for and adapt seamlessly to novel challenges.

Why this topic matters

Leaders that I coach, experience challenges more frequently, of greater complexity, and with less time to respond. More of those challenges are novel, you and your colleagues have not experienced them before. More of them arrive out of nowhere. This Lightning Lesson will introduce you to powerful proactive measures that prepare leaders at all levels to address these adaptive challenges.

From Engineering to Data Center Operations, to IT Technical Services to Chief Information Officer to Co-Founder of three companies required adaptation of myself and what I did in each role that I played. I was lucky to have had helpful coaches and colleagues along the way.
