Championing Change and Engaging Resistance in Different Agency Cultures
Description

This workshop will explore different types of organizational cultures within public-sector agencies, how organizational culture influences decision-making, the relationship between culture and leadership, and strategies to successfully champion change. Participants will learn how to identify various types of resistance and how they can use different leadership styles as necessary to avoid or navigate opposition in change-averse agencies. The workshop will cover different types of resistance that may be encountered in public-sector organizations, along with strategies to engage and overcome roadblocks to new ideas and initiatives.
