Columbus, Ohio - On Tuesday, March 9, 2010, Franklin University will host the next session in a series of Change Leadership Symposiums that bring together organization and community leaders working on change initiatives. This diverse group of process leaders will work together to create a knowledge sharing network of transformers that united will create a greater level of change.

The Change Leadership Symposium will examine a number of issues within the framework of the greater change process already underway by seeking to build a holistic understanding that incorporates leading edge thinking about change processes.
Breakout # 1: Avoiding (or overcoming) Change Failure The global business environment puts enormous pressure on organizations to adapt in order to remain viable and competitive. However, top management either frequently fails to implement effective change initiatives or launches too many change endeavors resulting in significant organizational instability. This sets the stage for passive-aggressive behavior toward change and/or burnout by followers from daily disruptions of unsettled change. The challenge is to sequence change initiatives leaving periods of stability for "resting," individual and organizational growth between cycles.
Breakout #2: Alternative Leadership Models The traditional Leader-Follower-Goal model of leadership fails to adequately explain group processes when leadership is shared or otherwise built into the self-managed governance structure. This breakout session will be facilitated by Dr. Ross Wirth and covers collective leadership, the Direction-Alignment-Commitment model of leadership, and the leadership role played by internal networkers in organizational change.
