Transforming an organization to become more agile requires leadership, but what kinds of leadership? When? Who needs to do the leading? And how? Chris Sims guides you through the process of mapping the styles of leadership that will be needed at various points in your company’s agile transformation.

In this session you will learn the six leadership styles that Daniel Goleman described in his Harvard Business Review Study: “Leadership That Gets Results” and you learn when each style is effective. We mix in the Satir Change Model, which describes how people and organizations process their way through change.
