Do you have a new boss? Or does your boss have a new boss? Is the person who was in the office next to you yesterday suddenly gone? Is the knot of anxiety in your stomach getting tighter?Change is everywhere. The bullish economy has been replaced with consumer anxiety; the dot-com styles and mindset that recently dominated the workplace have all but disappeared; and even seemingly untouchable political powers have had to brace themselves for seismic change.
Like much of corporate America, Washington has changed its leaders, mission, style and personnel. In this original message for Audible listeners, noted business and leadership strategist, Timothy Dobbins, combines his observations of the transition from the Clinton to Bush administrations and his real-life experience advising companies in the midst of downsizing, realignment and mergers, to illuminate the impact of change in the workplace environment.
Dobbins argues that the time of transition is the most important part of any change and that real leaders can emerge from that process of transition. Dobbins believes that there are three essential ingredients for leading successful transitions in the workplace: passion, courage and wisdom. In this Audible original, Making the Most of Change, Dobbins tells three stories illustrating how those ingredients can make change work for you rather than against you.
