3. What will the audience hear? EFFECTIVE LEADER DOES NOT FLAIL AROUND. CREATE A HEALTHY RHYTHM WHICH GIVES A SENSE OF PREDICTABILITY. SOMETIMES YOU FEEL AS IF YOU PLAY SIMULTANEOUS CHESS ON DOZENS OF BOARDS. TAKE A DECISION, GO AHEAD, DON’T REGRET. BE CAREFUL OF ‘ROTTEN APPLES’. DO NOT LET DEFEATISTS INFECT OTHERS WITH THEIR DOUBTS. IN CHAOTIC, COMPLEX WORLD, CREATE A SIMPLE COMPASS ORGANIZING EVERYDAY WORK. BEWARE OF “FAKE COZINESS”. HELP PEOPLE GET OUT OF THEIR COMFORT ZONES.

4. What’s inside? From dogmas to scenario approach: involving your team into forecasting various scenarios. From lengthy meetings to dynamic “councils of war”: what matters is the effect, not subject. From known to unknown: how to implement a change without provoking a sense of panic overwhelming the team? From irregular actions to a healthy rhythm: a 20-mile march principle. From complaining to engagement: combat against cynicism and defeatism.

5. Why should you go for it? Best practices for managers coordinating critical changes, referring as well to attitudes as to skills. Short, energetic experiments and simulations for large groups. Scientific background: two clear, proven concepts of change implementation (by Kurt Lewin and Professor Jonathan Haidt).
