On March 4th, CAMUG is proud to present the renown author of "Fearless Change: Patterns for Introducing New Ideas": Mary Lynn Manns! Mary Lynn will be giving a special talk entitled "Leading Fearless Change" and has traveled to Calgary specifically for us.
Abstract
We know you have great ideas to bring into your organization but often struggle to make them happen. Unfortunately, those who want to introduce change are not always welcomed with open arms. Mary Lynn Manns and Linda Rising have written a popular book, Fearless Change: Patterns for Introducing New Ideas that documents successful strategies to help you influence others, overcome adversity and encourage people to become so involved and interested in your ideas that they really do want to change. Bring your frustrations! You will hear solutions to the roadblocks that allow “powerless leaders” to fearlessly lead change in their organizations.
