This is Not a Time to be Looking In the Rear View Mirror
|
Maximizing the return on investment in an organization's human capital is a primary responsibility for both upper management and the Human Resources function. To fulfill this responsibility, both need to be aware of best leadership practices. We asked our colleague Cathy McCullough, Senior Consultant with Executive Development Associates, to partner with us to produce a webcast on the topic of Leading in Tough Times. We know you will love her insights, which are based on 20 years of experience working in organization and leadership development. Cathy says in the webcast that it’s not a time to be looking in the rear view mirror because only those organizations that prepare now for the “new normal” will survive. The new form of leadership will not result from looking back.
Leadership experts say that what is needed now is transformational leadership; a movement away from the old transactional style of leadership, with its attitude of “You work for me, I pay you – I think, you do.”
Cathy’s presentation uses lessons from survivors of past tough times to illustrate the attributes, principles and actions of a transformational leader.

-
Never loses sight of how far their organization has come and celebrates how much further it will go
