Leading Organizational Change that Demands Personal Transition
Leadership Training and Professional Management Workshops
Class Length: 1/2 or Full Day
Overview/Description
Leadership /Management is a big responsibility, especially during a time of organizational change. Are you prepared or equipped to deal with the challenges and complexities of leading transformation within your organization? Statistics indicate over 70% of change initiatives fail. Though many leaders are equipped to deal with the mechanics of change they fail to manage the human dynamics it provokes. Fumbles are costly and can be embarrassing. Strategic preparation can help leaders avoid clumsy mistakes that lead to little or no sustainable change.
These two programs help leaders get on track and stay there. The shorter session focuses on building a foundation around the nature of the change and the elements that promote success or lead to disaster. Participants learn the value of preparing for change and getting their teams ready for the challenges and opportunities it brings. The longer session leverages the knowledge gained in the short session and puts it to use. Using a practical and tactical approach, participants walk away with an action plan to start managing change in the phase they’re in and have a master plan the keeps them grounded through the entire process.
