CFC2006. Leading in Rough Seas: Critical Competencies When the World is in Commotion

Smooth seas make poor sailors. Leading a team across a tranquil pond can make any leader look like a pro. It's when the wind kicks up on the open ocean that our leadership skills are put to the test.

In this session, we'll discuss particularly important competencies and tactics to focus on as you navigate rough waters. When it's smooth sailing, you can probably get by without them, but when the water gets rough, they're essential to survival. You'll leave with specific things you can do to be more effective in leading your team through periods of uncertainty or particularly rapid change.
