As organizations prepared for their upcoming year, the focus was on business goals, organizational strategy, and the strength of their vision and mission.

No one planned for the speed and severity at which radical change would come and alter  our focus to the immediate need.  Management faced disruption to businesses and lives in general.

Organizations had to implement 2 or 3 year plans in two weeks.  Faced with this new reality, and the global change that is occurring, management continues to be faced with disruption and uncertainty that requires flexibility and the ability to pick up the pieces of what remains and attempt to fit them back together–in what will almost certainly be different than it had looked only a few short weeks ago.

The question facing all organizations today is if their management teams are prepared  to support their teams in a way that supports their new organizations?

In this webcast Jeff Becker (LinkedIn profile) Director, Corporate Learning Solutions American Management Association will discuss the thoughtful leadership behaviors and emotional intelligence managers must exhibit in today’s work environment to lead their teams effectively.

This is a time for your management to be more curious about their people and how they are feeling to earn and enhance trust as it will most certainly have an impact on how they perform.

In times of crisis its often easier to tell rather than ask, leadership must listen and understand what their teams need to hear to build a culture of inclusivity and  effectively manage.

With the speed at which work must get done now more than ever leaders need to give direction, set expectations and coach with mindfulness of the employee and the business need. It is critical to be effective in the work that needs to be done.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

  1. The importance of building and enhancing trust
  2. The importance of culture through a time of change
  3. Why emotional intelligence is more critical than ever
  4. Management’s responsibility in driving strategic engagement
  5. Access a self-assessment to determine the gap between yesterday’s skills and today’s

Business disruption increased 260% in the last five years, and if anything, COVID-19 further turbocharged this disruption. However, even before the pandemic, chief human relations officers (CHROs) cited emerging tasks and responsibilities as the most disruptive change facing their workforce.

Now, with COVID-19 upending this challenge, it begs the question, what if organizations have unconsciously been building the wrong workforce by relying on roles?

In this webinar Scott Engler (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Principal Executive Advisor will address the necessity to know where you need to reassign roles by skill and build internal skill sets for the future.

Discussion Topics:

  • Address workforce planning with a skill-based approach
  • Best-in-class companies use skill-based planning to gain a competitive edge
  • Track all competitors to create opportunistic build, buy, and borrow strategies
