Purpose
Change is constant. Driven by global competition, advancing technology, increasing customer demands, etc., all industry leaders experience growth, downsizing, reorganization, mergers and acquisitions, and re-directions in strategic and/or operating plans. Often following are changes in leadership and shifts in team membership (due to a promotion, transfer, new hire, resignation, leave of absence, retirement, termination, etc.).
The magnitude, momentum, and complexity of change experienced within organizations today are unprecedented. And, the need for leaders of change has never been greater.
Being a change leader is not just being a manager. Leading people through a change effort is different from leading them to perform a project. Change leaders use a subtle process of mutual influence that brings together thoughts, feelings, and actions to produce a collective effort that serves the purpose and the values of all stakeholders. This highly interactive workshop provides a summary of best practices to manage change within organizations.
Leaders engage in new directions and use change to continuously improve business results & skills of team members. Effective teams optimize team performance during challenging times.
