The hard and soft, big and small, good, bad, and ugly sides of change
The hard and soft, big and small, good, bad, and ugly sides of change
With Professor Bettina Büchel and John Weeks
Business leaders face the challenge of implementing new strategies and leading the organization through change. It is a job that requires both different and sometimes conflicting skill sets: the hard-nosed approach focused on achieving results while at the same time picking up the signals of cultural shifts and undesired behaviors. This complexity is particularly visible when implementing new strategic initiatives that span functional, geographic and business unit boundaries. Throughout this stream, we will discuss different approaches to managing both the hard and soft side to execution and change. Business executives able to maneuver through difficult situations and able to govern towards the strategic vision have developed a capability that keeps them clear of the "danger zone".
