Leading Change: What the Emerging Leaders Workshop Taught Us About Leadership

This month, Quest’s Emerging Leaders Program explored one of the most critical leadership skills of our time: leading change. In a powerful virtual workshop with best-selling author Chris Laping, participants examined why change success has less to do with plans and more to do with how leaders show up. The session challenged emerging leaders to rethink clarity, empathy, advocacy, and persistence as core behaviors during organizational transformation.

Read the blog to see the key takeaways and learn more about the Emerging Leaders Program.
