    Lessons in Leadership | Building Team Agility

    Wednesday, December 16, 2026 at 12:00 PM until 1:00 PMEastern Standard Time UTC -05:00

    Priorities change, leaders turn over and markets shift. A team's ability to stay agile and pivot is critical to successful outcomes. Join us for the next session of Brown University's Lessons in Leadership series with guest speaker Laura Downing, adjunct professor of leadership at Brown University, as she explores "Building Team Agility."
     
    The first of two skills in the change section of Ed Barrows' new book, "Twelve Skills for Teams," this session looks at how teams build and demonstrate the ability to pivot in response to changing needs. The most effective teams aren't the ones that never get disrupted, they're the ones where every member is ready to adapt quickly without losing focus on what matters most.
     
    During this session, you'll learn how to:

    •  Recognize early signals that your team needs to change course

    •  Build flexibility into plans, roles and resources

    •  Make faster decisions together without sacrificing clarity or alignment

    •  Help every team member stay focused and confident through change

    You can view all of Barrows' sessions in the Lessons in Leadership series on our YouTube channel.
