Leading Through Adaptive Challenges
Presented by the University of Dallas Gupta College of Business
Today’s organizations are faced with increasing complex and dynamic environments. In the past, they could view change as a once-in-a while, episodic event. But now they must face the reality that they are navigating through “permanent white water.” Leaders must be equipped for this new environment and the constant pressure to transform their organizations to respond to the heightened demands of the new economic realities. This workshop equips leaders at every level of the organization to be successful change agents.
J. Lee Whittington, Ph.D.| Dean & Professor of Management, Gupta College of Business, University of Dallas
