About this listen

Change is inevitable yet feared! How you handle change can define your leadership. Choose to be the leader who embraces change and takes their team to success!

In today’s fast-paced and unpredictable landscape, traditional leadership skills are not enough.

You have probably already worked on your communication skills, your levels of empathy, and how to handle conflicts within your team…yet there is still something missing.

To thrive as a leader in the modern workplace, you will need a unique set of skills that enable you to handle the rapid changes and challenges that are thrown your way.

Over just the last few years, we have experienced a pandemic, war, economic crisis, and natural disasters. It has felt and still feels like there is no end to the obstacles that need to be overcome.

While everybody needs to handle these changes, people are looking to you for inspiration and guidance. As if that pressure isn’t enough— your senior managers are also hovering over to ensure your team is functioning at its best.

The causes of rapid change are complex and even though events may not be happening on your doorsteps, there is no doubt that they won’t negatively impact your organization.

Failing to adapt to change only leaves companies trailing behind…or worse. Just look what happened to international giant names such as Blackberry, Kodak, and Blockbuster!

And their leaders had years of experience under their belts!

Fortunately, this doesn’t have to be your fate. You can expand your skillset and become adaptable to change with 8 essential skills to become a dynamic leader whose team continues to grow and flourish.

In this guide to modern leadership, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

  • The 8 steps of the NAVIGATE method which turns complex business concepts into manageable and practical strategies
  • 10 change factors that leaders are in the midst of and what to expect in the next 10 years
  • How to handle rapid change as a leader and ensure your team is continuously building resilience
  • 11 technologies that will jumpstart your digital transformation and how to implement a plan that doesn’t create resistance from the less IT-savvy members
  • The best software and tips for hybrid work teams so that each team member can feel connected, valued, and productive
  • How to tackle a crisis with calm and confidence—even one that shakes the entire world!
  • The implications of geopolitical uncertainties, how to mitigate risks, and even seize opportunities!
  • What it means to promote sustainability with 6 real-world examples of the potential benefits
  • The ultimate guide to attracting, onboarding, and retaining the best talent for diverse teams that drive innovation
  • 14 techniques to unleash the ethical leader in you, reinforce team ethics and values, and create an unparalleled workplace culture

And much more.

As a busy leader, it’s understandable how daunting a skill set like this may seem, especially when you are already short of time. You know your team fears change so how are they going to cope with more?

The NAGIVATE method doesn’t add to your workload. Instead, it alleviates stress and uncertainty so that your main focus is on a team that feels respected, valued, and engaged.

What I liked most about this book was how up to date the info is. It is written for managers working in a post pandemic world. It addresses all the challenges of managing workers that are in the office as well as working from home. This includes information about technology that can make it easier to collaborate with remote workers. I would recommend this to any manager that is looking to improve their leadership skills.
