Effective Sponsorship
Successfully Sponsoring Transformational Change - Leading Change Through Adversity
Summary & Objectives: Leading Change through Adversity provides business executives and leaders with a foundation to foster active, visible, engaged and authentic leadership and sponsorship through business turmoil.
The majority of business initiatives actually fail to achieve their stated business objectives or a return on investment. Why? The #1 reason is the lack of senior executive sponsorship (Sources: McKinsey, Bain, IBM). Sponsorship starts with taking ownership and accountability for the ultimate success of business initiatives.
In this workshop attendees will be provided with skills and strategies to step into the role of Sponsor. Leaders will learn tools to provide a vision and clear path to move forward during uncertain times for their business.
Leading Change through Adversity presents practical and actionable plans for leaders to become steadfast, reliable, authentic and trusted managers as their teams work through workplace change, adversity and business transformations.
Approach: Leading Change through Adversity enables participants to engage in a series of short presentations and dialogues from the context of their own business experiences and challenges that both they and their organizations currently face.
Presented materials are bold, resonant and thought-provoking, providing practical guidelines for leaders to step into the role of Executive Sponsor.
