Strategic Leadership: Leading Culture Change
Driving High Performance

This second in a series of two courses provides executives and managers with tools and strategies to lead effective organizational change that results in increased performance. While designing systems to support outcomes and strategic plans, leaders must change the culture of the organization to support the new systems. In any change initiative, it is the cultural change that is the most difficult. A leader can design effective systems and structures, but high performance requires the leader to create an environment where the people doing the work are driving the change and committed to high performance. In this course, participants assess their current culture, understand the leadership role in the change process, and develop skills to lead their organization to high performance. The faculty includes academics, organizational consultants, and public sector colleagues who have been successful in leading change.


Key Results

  • Understand the power of culture in any organization, and how to link values with culture change
  • Assess readiness for culture change

  • Understand the systemic dynamics of the change process and the power of culture to determine performance levels
  • Acquire tools to create a learning organization that will design and redesign itself, based on changing needs

  • Learn from public sector colleagues the skills to lead through chaos
