Quint Studer - Founder, Studer Community Institute
When building a culture that maximizes technology, it means change. When I served on the Harvard Business School Curriculum Committee, we noticed leaders were able to handle the technical piece of performance however handling change was more difficult. Attendees will learn how to deal with change within themselves and in their organization.
