Case Study: Talent Development’s Strategic Role in Building Capacity to Lead through Change and CrisisAs our gut-wrenching experience with recent crises demonstrates, the capability to lead through crisis and change is mission critical. In the Talent Development field, we have many programs to help people "deal with change" (including building their resilience, coping with stress, etc.) as well as to "manage change" (such as various change/project management models and toolkits) - but we have a dearth of actionable approaches to help people learn to "lead" change. Rock Valley Credit Union closed that gap by building change leadership capabilities from the frontline tellers to the executive team, and the Board of Directors as well. This journey began when the new CEO embarked on a radical new strategic agenda, which was initially met with resistance. The senior Talent executive strategically partnered with the new CEO to design a learning journey, coaching and developing all key stakeholders over an 18-month period to own and execute the strategic plan. When COVID-19 hit, this enabling foundation equipped RVCU to seamlessly serve members and emerge stronger culturally and financially than before – with L&D at the forefront playing a visible and invaluable role.

Building Organizational Resilience: There's A Gap for That!Crisis and disruption test the resiliency of leaders and employees across all organizational levels. CEO’s around the world have cited resiliency as either extremely important, or very important, to their organization’s ability to adapt and, not only survive, but thrive during disruptive events & unique stressors like the current COVID-19 pandemic. Resilient leaders are more effective in responding and recovering from disruption and are better able to create the kind of positive disruption that drives innovation and growth. Individuals and teams with high resiliency levels are more positive and more open to organizational change. Organizations with high resiliency levels are more agile, innovative, engaging, and productive as well as more responsive to customers. Learning leaders play a vital role in building resilient, adaptive capabilities across all organizational levels. |
