A NAVY SEAL’S PRINCIPLES FOR NAVIGATING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE
In today’s more volatile, unpredictable, and complex business environments businesses can find themselves in almost constant states of change.

In this presentation, Gleeson provides actionable principles for managers to use in leading an organization through change.

PRIORITIZING PEOPLE CULTURE & VALUES TO ACHIEVE RESULTS
People, culture, and values often have a reputation for being a “soft” element of management’s priorities and not directly tied to improving profitability. Yet, many studies show that leading with culture makes an organization stronger, more resilient and much more profitable.
