Simply put, the world is changing faster than the ability of leaders to transform themselves and their organizations. Most change efforts fail — and often these failures are driven by unconscious personal and organizational hijackers. Dr. Bob Rosen will unveil the Why, What, and How of Leading Conscious Change.

Great leaders are great people. It starts with who they are—their beliefs, their values, their aspirations, their commitment to a higher purpose—and making a difference in their organizations and in the world.
