Highlights: "Leveraging Change to Enhance Your Purpose and Value to All Stakeholders"

To pivot a crisis, an organization must first have their top leaders in alignment before speaking to the rest of the team.

Setting vision for the organization relies upon the repetitive nature of messaging to have it align across the organization.

Communicating to make a change depends on saying it “seven times in seven different ways.”

Leaders must be repetitive in their messaging and demonstrate that they “believe in this.”

“If your organization is doing business the same way a year from now, as it was a year prior, then you’ve let an opportunity go by.”

Virtual calls may allow organizations to have more touchpoints with stakeholders throughout the year, and less in person.

Utilizing technology moving forward past COVID, will help less “wear and tear” on team members.

Building trust within the organization is the most important thing and starts with building trust with each other and with stakeholders.

Authenticity, integrity and doing the right thing are all critical aspects to great leadership.

Core intention and purpose manifest in many ways depending on different leadership styles and the uniqueness of the situation.

If you build the right type of organization, “the best people do not need to be managed.” Meaning, your organization will be a place people want to be.

There is a difference between leading and managing your team.
