In today’s dynamic and fast-paced business environment, leaders need the skills to navigate constant change and uncertainty. Traditional leadership methods often fall short in addressing these evolving challenges. The Transformative Leadership course from Nexus at Michigan Engineering offers professionals a unique opportunity to stay ahead of industry trends, enhance leadership skills, and effectively drive organizational change. In this article, you can discover four key benefits of enrolling in the Transformative Leadership course.

1. Expert Guidance to Navigate Change

The Transformative Leadership course is taught by Drew Locher. Drew is a continuous improvement expert with nearly 40 years of experience in guiding organizational change across diverse industries such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and education. With his wealth of knowledge, Drew shares valuable insights on mastering transformative leadership and developing an adaptive organizational culture.

“We all know that change is inevitable. The fact is change is happening at an accelerating rate: business conditions, fickle customers and entire markets, technology, social factors, geopolitical circumstances, just to name a few. Organizations in any sector must be equipped to respond quickly and, if possible, get ahead of the curve. Only organizations that can quickly and effectively adapt have a chance of surviving and thriving. Transformative leadership is absolutely necessary to developing an adaptive culture in an organization.” – Drew Locher

2. Practical Strategies to transform Your Organization

The course combines theoretical frameworks with actionable strategies through various interactive elements, including lectures, group discussions, videos, case studies, and other exercises.

“For me, the best courses go beyond concepts and result in something tangible that students can take with them when they return to their organizations…This leadership course will give participants a clear and reasonable expectation for how to take these ideas back to their organization and actually implement that change.” – Drew Locher

3. A Leadership Roadmap Tailored to Your Needs

Participants will leave the course with a customized leadership roadmap that they can immediately apply within their organizations. This personalized roadmap includes coaching methods, change management processes, and sustainment strategies to enhance your leadership style. The roadmap follows a 5-step process that is adaptable to any work environment:

  • Create an Inspirational Purpose
  • Develop a Process
  • Provide Coaching
  • Manage the Change
  • Sustain the Culture

“The expectation is that the participants will walk out with a roadmap, based on the concepts covered, that they can take back to their respective organizations, share with their colleagues, and begin implementing…Participants will customize their roadmap to meet their organization’s unique needs. And by organization, I mean, it could be a single team, an entire department, or an entire organization or business entity.” – Drew Locher

4. Comprehensive Training for Leaders at All Levels

Anyone interested in developing their leadership skills is welcome to attend this course. You will engage in a collaborative learning experience alongside individuals from diverse industries and experience levels. Whether you are new to leadership or looking to refine your leadership style, this course can help you succeed.

“This course is tailored for individuals in leadership roles at any level within an organization. It doesn’t require a specific title; anyone who influences others can be considered a leader.” – Drew Locher
