While culture change involves collaboration and empowerment throughout the organization, it is critically important for those in formal leadership positions to actively nurture the process. This webinar builds upon the “Put Living First: Creating a Culture Where Everyone Thrives” webinar held on March 28, 2019 by exploring organizational growth and the concept of wise leadership.
Dr. Allen Power, Schlegel Chair in Aging and Dementia Innovation, shares eight personal transformation goals for successful leadership and describes several tools and processes that will help each organization evaluate readiness for change, begin the journey, and monitor progress along the way.
