Pre-Conference Leadership Institute

Sunday October 30th, 12:00p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Managing and Leading Through Change

Gwen Webber-McLeod - President/CEO, Gwen, Inc.

Organizations, businesses and government agencies face what seems to be never ending change. What a manager- leader does to support employees and organizations through the dynamics of change directly affects the achievement of workplace goals and business outcomes. It is helpful when a manager- leader understands the dynamics of change and how it affects the workplace.

During this interactive presentation conference attendees will:

  • Discuss the manager-leader’s role in leading and supporting staff and the organization through change.
  • Hear about and discuss the dynamics of imposed and chosen change.
  • Learn about author and change management expert, John Kotter’s 8 Phases of Leading Change as a change management planning tool.
  • Identify specific strategies for helping employees and the organization thrive during change.

Conference attendees are invited to bring a specific change initiative they are leading to the work session. Time will be allotted to develop an initial plan of action for leading this specific change in the workplace.

This work session will be facilitated by Gwen Webber-McLeod, President/CEO of Gwen, Inc., a leadership development corporation based in Auburn, NY and serving emerging and established leaders across New York State. Gwen, Inc. hallmark product, The Leadership Connection®: A Resource Centered on Great Leadership opened as a resource center for leaders in January 2009.
