Are you able to lead effectively in a climate of continuous change?

Almost every organization today is twenty-four months away from failure if they do not change internally as quickly as the external world changes around them. Organizations must constantly assess their current position, develop a vision for the future, gain support to turn that vision into reality, and bring about innovative results.

This capacity to successfully lead change often involves conducting negotiations, critical problem solving, and strategic relationship management with diverse parties to enable your business to thrive.

“How you and those you lead negotiate and lead change will greatly impact your organization’s success.”

Through coaching, consulting and customized training, Ki ThoughtBridge can help you implement your change initiatives while building trust and creating sustainable working relationships with key stakeholders. 

Ki ThoughtBridge’s change management services will help you to:

• Understand how change affects individuals and systems
• Recognize the stages of change
• Develop a plan to accomplish change
• Acquire skills needed to deal with the gap between the current situation and the preferred state

Ki ThoughtBridge will help you manage the process of transformational change.

Ninety percent of the problems leaders face are adaptive problems requiring high emotional intelligence and social competency skills.  The higher the level of responsibility the greater the need for such skills and the more coaching can facilitate their development.

The most effective leaders value the need for continued learning and external support in today’s complex environment. In addition to their own development, they must be able to lead their team and help them develop the self-insight, awareness, patience, and empathy necessary to successfully help others navigate the change process and achieve progress. Leadership with this understanding know that they must manage the inevitable anxiety and confusion in these systems. Their ability to see the whole and interconnectivity is vital; equal to this is the skill of integration - a skill that leads to the most effective and morally responsible responses and systems in which communication is open, direct, clear and honest.

The most competent and trustworthy leaders realize their responsibility for acknowledging reality in all its complexity and will work to create healthy systems able to meet the needs of individuals and their organizations.

Ki ThoughtBridge Consultants are skilled in coaching leaders in education, business, and philanthropy sectors. The Integrated Model of Leadership© provides a framework within which leaders are grounded in inner work and can balance technical and adaptive skills as they work to achieve their organization’s vision, mission and goals.
