How can a site not only weather a leadership transition but benefit from it? A leadership transition, whether smooth or messy, sudden or protracted, can be an opportunity for growth. We’ll share stories and case studies, explore planning strategies, and address such FAQs as • How can outgoing site leaders ease the transition? • What is the learning curve for new directors? • What leadership habits and structures strengthen a site? • What about the feelings involved? This hands-on workshop is designed for leaders of sites that have recently undergone a leadership change, are presently involved in one, or are anticipating one.
