Leadership in a Post-COVID World
Effective leadership is crucial in bringing about long-lasting positive change in the world.
The global pandemic disrupted our workplace norms to leave many leaders wondering how to motivate and lead a workforce with new expectations about work life balance and meaningful work.
As organizations determine new ways of working – remote, in-person, hybrid - leaders have a unique opportunity to reshape work cultures to address new challenges and create more effective work environments.
Through this two-day program, leaders will be equipped with evidence-based frameworks and tools to inspire and motivate their workforces while maximizing team productivity and cohesion. Participants will learn effective talent management practices, such as staffing, onboarding, performance management, and talent development, to lead their organizations towards success.
In addition to practical skills, the program will also encourage participants to contemplate their own leadership styles and potential legacies as leaders. By the end of the program, leaders will have a higher understanding of the complexities of today's workplace and be better equipped to lead in this new environment.
