Participants will explore how to lead and influence change effectively in mission-driven,
resource-constrained public organizations. The session emphasizes handling both forced
(external/mandated) and self-imposed (initiated) change, leveraging influence, managing resistance, and equipping rising leaders to drive positive transformation. 

Learning Objectives: 

  • Apply core change management principles relevant to public sector dynamics. 
  • Explore how influence, not just authority, drives successful change. 
  • Examine the impact of forced change (e.g., policy, legislation, public crises) vs.
    self-imposed change (e.g., leadership initiatives, efficiency efforts). 
  • Learn practical methods to manage change (e.g., Kotter’s Model, ADKAR,
    stakeholder engagement). 
  • Build strategies to support emerging leaders taking initiative for positive change.
