Expired Beyond COVID – Why a “New Normal” is not the solution and what we really need to change

Amcham HR Committee has the pleasure in inviting you to an evening webinar on 1st December, 2020

Beyond COVID –

Why a “New Normal” is not the solution and what we really need to change

During the summer months, many companies were developing exit strategies to create a “New Normal”. Some adaptations to how we have been managing in the past, but essentially the same old “Normal”. But the challenges of COVID-19 have highlighted the limitations of our traditional ways of management and leadership. It is time to rethink.

This Amcham event will be an opportunity to get insights and discuss how we can lead our businesses and organisations not only through COVID, but how to make them successful in an increasingly complex and volatile world.

1. Traditional leadership relies on goals and plans. Successful leadership in today’s complex and volatile environment gives clear direction and facilitates agile adaptation.

2. Traditional leadership is about acting swiftly and efficiently, in the short and medium term. Successful leadership in today’s environment puts emphasis on preparing for the future.

3. Traditional leadership relies on power and control. Successful leadership in today’s environment makes use of and fosters collaboration.

4. “New Normal” leadership focuses on moving to more remote management. Successful leadership beyond a “new normal” focuses on increasing closeness and cohesion.

5. To be successful with the new leadership skills and in today’s environment is less a question of learning more skills, but of growing one’s inner leadership abilities: the ability to trust and create trust, to engage, inspire, and stay calm and able to make clear decisions in uncertainty.Speakers:-Sylvia Rohde-LiebenauSylvia is an expert in leadership, with more than 25 years of experience in the world of international institutions, business and finance.
