Change

Although a cliché, it is true - the only thing that remains the same is - change. Change is constant and generated from new technology, staff turnover, mergers and acquisitions, security threats, new products and services, or realignment within the organization. In addition to change being handed down, sometimes, change bubbles up internally in the forms of continuous improvement or process improvement. Leaders are expected to do some level of change management for organizational change and also understand when change outside the organization, such as changes in family situations, affect a team members' capacity for change. This course will help leaders understand change theory and their own reactions to change so that they can help their team members positively and productively handle changes in the work place.
