How to Develop Radical Adaptability in the New World of Work

Have you heard the call to return to the office? Instead of going “back” to work, shouldn’t we go forward? The pandemic forced organizations and teams to adapt to new, often better, ways of operating. So why not skip “returning to normal” and redesign work based on what we learned in crisis? In this deep-dive webinar, New York Times bestselling author and award-winning speaker Keith Ferrazzi and coauthor Kian Gohar will show you how to shape your organization to remain competitive in a new post-pandemic context.

You will learn how to develop radical adaptability and learn actionable advice, including how to:

  • “Co-elevate” team interdependence so everyone is committed to each other’s success;
  • Make strategic decisions inclusive, so everyone feels a part of them;
  • Achieve extraordinary goals by leading through agile sprints; 
  • Share accountability for team resilience and diagnose stressors with empathy, energy-level check-ins, and “candor breaks”; and
  • Develop active foresight to help teams “see around corners."
