The 3 Great R’s: Resignation, Retention & Reorganization. Opportunities for Transformational Leaders.

We’ve heard about the Great Resignation, but have we spent enough time and focused enough attention and strategy on the Great Retention and Reorganization? For transformational leaders in the higher education landscape, the great resignation affords institutions with something that they have traditionally lacked, namely, churn. While too much churn, or turnover, may be a cause of concern, transformational leaders can position their organization to be prepared for churn by accepting resignations, reorganizing for a student-centered approach to business, and developing a retention strategy. This webinar will provide participants with insight into the three Great R’s and the strategy needed to leverage them within their organization.
