030. Building a Leadership Team for a Transformational Organization

Presenter: Dena Cordova Jack

Level of Complexity: Intermediate
9:30 AM - 11:00 AM

In today’s fast-changing business landscape, especially within industries like lumber and building materials and other adjunct industries, transformation is no longer optional. But the real engine behind successful change isn’t just technology or restructuring. It’s leadership. This session explores the essential leadership traits and team dynamics required to drive meaningful, lasting organizational transformation. Drawing on real-world experience in an industry that’s often slow to evolve, I’ll outline the pitfalls of legacy thinking and provide a practical roadmap for building a leadership team capable of thriving amid disruption. Attendees will learn: How to assess the leadership team you have (vs. the one you wish you had) What separates a transformational leader from a great manager Why learning, experimentation, and risk-taking must be embedded in your leadership culture How to break silos, align vision, and build leadership bench strength for the future This is a wake-up call for companies still clinging to "the way we’ve always done it." If your leadership team isn’t ready to evolve, your transformation journey is already in jeopardy. Audience: Executive leaders, HR and OD professionals, innovation officers, and managers tasked with leading cultural or operational change Style: Candid, high-energy, and rooted in practical application—this is transformation with a hard hat on.
