I read a post in which the author – Daniel Gross, tried to summarise his learning from the recently concluded COP26 Summit. What he shares is not only applicable for how he summarised the COP26 Summit, but to management in general as well. Lately, I have been talking a lot about leadership and how important it is to lead. However, in that conversation, we should not forget the importance of management as well.

Masterclass: Leading Large Scale Transformation

In this masterclass, I share my insights on some of the most important things that we need to keep in mind when we are leading large scale transformation efforts. (You can watch the recording here.) Once the transformation is initiated (inspired or for survival), there are 4 phases: 1.

This phase is all about building the foundation on which we can lead our transformation effort. 2. Mobilise: This phase is […]
