Training programmes
Leading Change
As a responsible and successful manager you want to deepen your understanding of the process of change. You know from experience that too often the impact of organisational change on people is poorly handled, or ignored altogether. This can lead to unnecessary distress for individuals and also mean that the anticipated benefits of change for the organisation are not realised.
You want to learn how to interpret the language and behaviour of individuals at different stages in the change process and, critically, how to lead and guide others through each stage. As a manager your role is to accelerate acceptance and successfully implement important changes. This intensive one-day programme will enable you to do just that.
Benefits
By the end of the programme you will be able to:
- identify and avoid the major pitfalls and hazards in change
- understand your responsibilities when leading and guiding others through change and uncertainty
- recognise the distinct phases of personal change
- employ a range of strategies to handle resistance, gain acceptance and build commitment
- lead others through change with confidence and certainty
- implement change successfully in your organisation.
Approach
Fun activities demonstrate the phases of change. There are opportunities to explore key skills and behaviours by coaching and being coached. A case study brings alive the issues and opportunities during the session on organisational change. Participants are encouraged to share examples of good and poor change management drawn from their own experiences.
Who should attend?
Any manager or professional who wants to understand the nature of change so that they can lead or guide others through the change process.
