Leading Through Learning in Turbulent Times
|
| Keynote Speaker |
| Ed Cohen |
Ed Cohen, Former CLO of Satyam (India’s 4th largest IT service provider) and co-author of Riding the Tiger: Leading Through Learning in Turbulent Times, will share powerful insights and guidelines to illuminate the path of understanding and development for leaders faced with guiding their organizations through times of crisis. The turmoil could be a result of significant change or lack of change; of rapid growth or rapid decline; of a merger, acquisition, or takeover; or of key leaders joining or leaving. It may be more extreme, resulting from a calamity such as a financial scandal or the theft of intellectual property, or an unnatural or natural disaster affecting any part of the organization.
He will show you how certain leadership practices are universal; whenever people in an organization are facing turmoil the organization’s leaders and all employees’ efforts and essential initiatives play a key role keeping the organization back on an even keel. Thus, when faced with chaos and the going gets beyond tough, when it gets nearly impossible—in accord with the Chinese proverb—these time are paradoxically both a grave danger and a great opportunity.
