Leadership Transition During Times of Crisis

When company or team leaders are replaced, there’s generally an emotional response by employees and everyone has opinions. However, if the transition is handled intentionally and thoroughly, positive changes can occur regardless of unexpected challenges. In this episode, CEO of Racine Family YMCA Jeffrey Collen and soon to be CEO Ahmad Qawi talk candidly about their relationship and how preparation for their transition began years ago. They share their methods for making this a successful move even amidst the coronavirus and how new leaders can build upon what has already been established.
