George Kohlrieser
Distinguished Professor of Leadership and Organizational Behaviour at IMD

On: Building Trust in Times of Transformation

In today's world, the one thing that is constant is change. If this is not enough, there is the added anxiety of what’s coming next and what’s the right thing to do. As a result, leaders and employees are left unsettled and anxious. It can have a devastating impact on engagement and motivation. The latest research shows that to counteract this, the mindset of the leader is the key. When leaders create a sense of security even in the most unsettled environment, those who follow them are protected from the negative consequences of uncertainty. Once the correct mindset is in place the behavior and language of the leader becomes their most powerful tool to influence and persuade others to collaborate and stay fully involved. Drawing on studies of high-performance leadership from the world of business, sports, education, and personal achievement, Professor George Kohlrieser will translate this cutting-edge knowledge to the world of leading in times of uncertainty.

George Kohlrieser is Distinguished Professor of Leadership at IMD Business School, a former hostage negotiator, and award-winning author of “Hostage at the Table: How Leaders Can Overcome Conflict, Influence Others and Raise Performance” and “Care to Dare: Unleashing Astonishing Potential through Secure Base Leadership.”
