Inside Influence: Leading Change from the Middle
Date: Saturday, May 15, 2010
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern
Location: Atlanta Community Food Bank
A common view of change is that it must start from the top of the organization. However, change is often initiated and led from pockets within an organization.
In fact many roles, such as IT, engineering, project management, process improvement, strategic planning and, of course, internal HR/OD practitioners, require influencing other people in the organization to change the way they work.
Since senior leaders can’t do all the work of change, managers and employees further down the org chart are frequently tapped to take on change in addition to their day job.
In this interactive session, OCA Steering Committee member Heather Stagl explores the role of the internal change agent, with its risks, rewards, advantages and challenges. Join us and learn how to best influence organizational change without authority.
