a Masterclass with dr john j. scherer & guest faculty
LEADING CHANGE
How to Conduct System-Wide, High-Engagement
Performance-Improvement Initiatives in Your Organization
About the program
Change is the only constant
This Masterclass is a distillation of what Dr John J. Scherer and his international colleagues have learned about ‘leading change’, designed for busy-but-committed people in leadership positions who are ready to learn how to facilitate transformation wherever it is needed, enhancing their value to their organization – and to their careers.
‘Management’ means helping people do what they know needs to be done – only better, cheaper, faster every day. VERY important capability – and perhaps one reason you have been promoted to where you are today.
‘Leadership’, on the other hand, means facilitating change – helping people discover new ways of doing things and galvanizing committed action in new directions – perhaps a capability even more important to your future.
If you are currently exercising leadership at any level – from a team of frontline people to a boardroom of executives – you and your career could benefit considerably from learning as much as you can about how to create real change that engages and transforms individuals, teams and larger systems.
