Für viele Unternehmen in Deutschland hat die Corona-Krise den Veränderungsdruck erhöht. Damit umfangreiche Personalanpassungen in Transformationen erfolgreich und nachhaltig umgesetzt werden können, sind fünf Schritte wesentlich.
Like a CTO, the leader of an alpine climb must marshal all of his or her skills in program design, motivation, and contingency planning to tip the odds toward success.
This corporate function does best if it has the right amount of centralization and its role evolves during transformations.
Organizations can move out of their state of suspended animation and build a new compact based on trust with their employees.
The odds are stacked against leaders who manage major organizational changes. But those who model the behaviors they seek and are persistent, hypervigilant, and flexible can improve their chances of success.
An employee-centric transformation requires deep understanding of the workplace ecosystem and how well, and how fast, it can adapt to change.
Why climbing Mount Everest did not change my life, but about what did. And why true happiness always involves pain.
