Leadership during Change
Today’s leaders face a common challenge regardless of their industry, size or scale. They need to constantly adapt in an environment of change. These could be because of external variables, internal dynamics or a combination – but each situation necessitates an ability to change styles, methods and the processes of leadership.
Organisations fall into four broad categories - Startups, Turnarounds, Realignment and Steady State growth. Even the same organisation can have more than one nuance within it. This workshop explains the four different states of organisations and shows why styles of leadership need to be altered for each one. It equips leaders with the tools necessary to diagnose the category of their organisation or sub-unit, arraign the tools necessary to manage that environment effectively and most importantly, teaches the steps they need to take when taking over a new situation or dealing with a changing environment.
Having had a decade of experience in a highly autocratic organisation like the army, then heading three different companies in the corporate sector and finally working in a consensus driven organisation like the government, Raghu has experienced the nuances and challenges of each kind of organisational leadership style. He uses real life examples to show how leadership styles need to and can be adapted for successful outcomes. This session is a must for leaders who are moving into new positions, portfolios, challenges or organisations facing the challenge of changing environments.

"What got you here won’t get you ahead’ is a cliché we keep hearing – except no one explains what is needed to get ahead. Raghu’s session is a brilliant rendition of the elements in the environment that cause change – how to recognize it and how to adapt to it.....A must attend session especially in these times when uncertainty abounds."
Vijay Sethi VP & CIO Hero MotoCorp "The session was highly inspiring and motivating. His message that leaders need to evolve to be effective in an ever changing, dynamic and disruptive environment was unequivocal. His emphasis with real life illustrations and anecdotes on keeping sight of “WHY” and letting the team make strides on “HOW” and “WHAT” as well as "leader may not necessarily lead from the front but ensures that no one is left behind” were vivid, succinct and impactful. Accolades to a great orator and leader!"

"Raghu has an incredible knack of converting every worthy experience into not just an opportunity to learn, but equally, an opportunity to teach. His talk on "Leading in an environment of change" was strategic and practical with lessons for everyone who lives in this VUCA world. If you want to know how to transcend boundaries between private sector, government, academic, non-governmental - then this is a must attend."
Anuradha Das Mathur Founder & Director 9.9 Media "An excellent presentation from Raghu covering the highs and lows of a transition experience and how to emerge successful from it. His perspectives range from being in the Armed Forces, to the Corporate Sector and finally, the Government. The presentation emphasises how critical it is to adapt and cope effectively with transitions – given our extremely dynamic and constantly changing environment. A very motivating session that teaches practical tools to address various elements of change - ranging from professional aspects to managing personal transition as well."
