Organizations have faced unprecedented challenges in the past year. The COVID-19 pandemic and global economic downturn created chaos, uncertainty, and massive disruption. If there were ever any doubt about the importance of a leader’s ability to navigate change, uncertainty, and disruption, there isn’t anymore. Leading through change and uncertainty is difficult. Providing clarity, keeping teams engaged, making decisions, leading with empathy, and avoiding burnout can become overwhelming, even for the most gifted leaders.


This webinar will explore how organizations manage change and prepare leaders to navigate an uncertain, rapidly changing business landscape. Join a panel of industry leaders as they share their perspectives on the critical skills required to lead.
You will learn:

  • The skills leaders need to manage change and uncertainty
  • How to help leaders develop critical leadership skills
  • How to support leaders when they’re struggling with change
