Deep-Dive Workshop
"From Crisis to the New Normal:
Leading the Transition"
June 3, 2020
1:00-4:00 pm Central
Live on Zoom
Ideal for co-op leaders, managers, and supervisors at all levels!
Never in the history of America's electric cooperatives has there been so much uncertainty. And, never have there been more opportunities to do great things for your co-op by becoming an exceptional change agent.
J.Lee Whittington, Ph.D., (bio below) will equip you and your co-op to be successful at making the necessary changes required by the COVID-19 crisis and other industry disruptors. This live, three-hour workshop is specially designed to help you navigate the challenges ahead in the coming weeks and months.
The COVID-19 crisis forced co-ops to re-think how they have always done things, and it provides an opportunity to abandon past practices that are no longer beneficial. Making new processes permanent and abandoning obsolete past practices create risks and challenges for co-ops and their leaders.
This workshop will prepare you for the unique leadership challenges that you and your co-op will face as we walk into the uncharted land of the new normal. It will help you to:
• Make the case for change at your co-op
• Overcome employee resistance to change
• Understand and leverage tactics associated with successful co-op transformation
• Engage your co-op’s entire workforce in the change process
• Create the strategic alignment that is necessary to make the changes stick
For only $499, your co-op will have UNLIMITED SEATS in the workshop. Please have only one person from your cooperative register. You will then be emailed payment instructions. Once payment is received, we will send you the Zoom login information to share with anyone on your team who wants to join the workshop!
We look forward to seeing you there!
