April Mills Reveals SECRET to Effective Business Management - First Year Presidents Ep 4

April K. Mills of Engine-for-Change shares powerful advice for new presidents and leaders stepping into unfamiliar organizations. Drawing from her experience at Intel and the U.S. Navy shipyard, April explains how to spot and empower "change agents"—those passionate individuals already driving progress behind the scenes. She discusses why leadership presence matters, how to avoid outsourcing what truly can't be outsourced (like culture and change), and how leaders can tap into their team's discretionary energy to fuel transformation. Learn about practical methods, including John Kotter’s Accelerate model, and how April helps leaders implement change that sticks.
