In this episode focused on ‘change management’ Andy and Kelly interview Matt Trainum, a consultant at Credo who shares his insights into the dynamic world of change management in higher education.
The group discusses how higher education, as an industry, is currently seeking employees who are willing to be future focused, agile, adaptable, and willing to adjust to change.
Matt says, “Every leader I sit with is trying to solve a problem. Usually, a whole lot of the candidates who show up, are not pitching themselves, but pitching their ability to solve problems, those are the candidates that folks are looking for.”
Questions that higher ed staff and leaders alike need to be asking include:
- What do current students need now?
- How does higher education governance keep change and innovation moving forward?
- What is most important for your institution right now?
- How can current employees keep their careers moving forward amidst an environment of change?
Kelly and Andy then discuss the article “Send These Five Weekly Emails to Advance Your Career” and why keeping daily discipline and maintaining authenticity is an essential part of advancing your career in the evolving workplace.
