Why is it essential that an organization continues to innovate even when faced with a “trifecta” of disasters? Peter Drucker is credited with saying; “if you don’t stay ahead of the pace of change, you are toast”. In other words, innovate or you die! I would like to share with you how Pace Center for Girls was able to focus on innovation and growth over the last 2.5 years in the midst of a pandemic, racial and social unrest, and economic uncertainty. I believe an organization’s strongest asset is its talent. If your talent mindset is focused on the disaster, you are unable to innovate. This presentation will walk you through three major steps we took to change our team’s outlook during a global crisis to ensure we continue to innovate and grow.
We may all may be confronted with what the true secret to transformation is from time to time. Implementing new technology, going digital, or hybridizing your workforce may have taken a lot of time and resources and is no small feat to endure. But we cannot overlook what transformation means for our employees and what techniques we can foster to help them evolve, too!

In order to promote real financial impact in your organization, you need to become your own Agent of Transformation and guide your team to follow suit.

As a result, companies must now plan for and be engaged in broader factors such as social impacts and environmental friendliness.

Employees that are feeling pressured to compromise personal or moral standards happens to be a leading indicator of the presence of actual wrongdoing. What nearly everyone fails to understand is that the criminal prosecution of unethical offenses is insufficient in itself to lead to the condemnation of white-collar criminals.

Being an ethical leader should de-motivate wrongdoing and manipulation while also creating a culture of honesty, honor, and pride throughout your team.
