Float, Flail, or Sink in the Tides of a Reorg

Wednesday, April 06 | 12:15PM–1:00PM | Concerto A
Session Type: Professional Development
Reorganizations are prompted by the need to achieve new goals, cut costs, or address shifts in institutional direction or client demand. Senior leaders may or may not easily communicate the driving factors behind the changes. Too often, employees perceive inherent changes as reflections on their individual competency or line of work. As a result, midlevel managers can become overwhelmed, assuming new responsibilities from their leaders, attempting to explain new strategies and assignments to their teams, deprecating historical services, and delivering continued services in the midst of changing direction. Learn tips for surviving and thriving in your next reorg.


OUTCOMES: Find your new place on the map * Self-assess your strengths * Learn to communicate organizational changes effectively
