BUILD ON YOUR CURRENT CULTURE TO GET THROUGH CHANGE
When a business is facing the need for some kind of change, the culture is going to have to transform as well. Leaders must lean on the values of the organisation to drive performance, especially during times of crisis or uncertainty.
Join us as we hear from Nick Mackeson-Smith, Director of leadership and culture development business Five New Zealand, who will walk you through how to adopt values-driven leadership to overcome behaviours that are holding your business back from moving forward. Nick will break down how to assess micro-aggressions that undermine culture, and work through how to ensure that your leaders are equipped to take their staff on the change journey.
We are also very lucky to have Teresa Seux, GM of Human Resources for Arvida Group showcasing their transformation journey across 32 branches that employ over 2,600 staff nationwide. Teresa will share an insightful case study on how they have successfully reorientated their business, the learnings made along the way and some best practise techniques for managing the psychology behind change with your people.
Our experts also discuss:
- “What are we ready for and what do we need to work on?” Cognitive vs emotional biases within the business, and how micro aggressions undermine culture
- Values driven leadership during crisis – what do they mean while working from home, working during lockdowns or throughout big, scary change?
- Overcoming resistance – how empowerment and ownership help mitigate push back, and why contingency planning is crucial for working through stumbling blocks.
You wouldn’t start working on a house without building the right foundations, so why reposition your organisation without a strong set of values?
