How Leaders Succeed In Transformation

It's not: what do you change? It's: who do you change with? Nearly
all industries face challenges requiring wide ranging
transformations. Especially, for leaders, advanced skills are
needed to champion the change. Latest studies state that 2/3 of
transformation projects fail due to management failures or employee
resistance. Based on her experience and learnings of the various
senior management roles Mara Papsdorf held in DAX/MDAX companies in
the last years, she derived important success factors for Change
Leaders. Through personal stories and practical examples, she shows
how leaders develop a strong vision, take their employees and
stakeholders on the transformation journey, and ensure to stay cool
even in stressful situations. Topics Transformations | Change
