What Will You Learn
To help you get the most value from this session, we’ve highlighted a few key points. These takeaways capture the main ideas and practical insights from the presentation, making it easier for you to review, reflect, and apply what you’ve learned.
The world of work has changed significantly, with more professionals, two-income families, and single parent families. This has resulted in a need for a new way to manage people in the workplace.
Leadership and management are different, with leadership focusing on influencing a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. Leadership is about producing change and making the organization better off tomorrow than it was yesterday.
There's a pervasive sense of insecurity in management and leadership due to the changing dynamics of the workforce. Leadership must understand the new value system and the anarchic ideal of leadership.
