Stop Managing Change. Start Leading It.

“People do not like change.”

If this is something you say to justify change that has stalled out or collapsed completely, you will benefit from the Leading Teams Through Change. Many people do like change; they do not like poor change leadership.  Research shows that your best people are most likely to leave during a change that has stalled out.

Change Theory is not a new topic, but it remains a challenging concept for leaders to apply.  Change Management involves knowing the change curve, transitioning stakeholders from old to new, and providing a logistic framework to structure the change process. Change leadership uses equal parts of leaders’ knowledge of managing resources and getting buy-in from people.

One of the most challenging aspects of change is that you are often experiencing the change transition yourself while leading others, and many times, you are leading someone else’s change decisions.  All is not lost.  This course will teach you to equip your team to endure and prosper through all sorts of change.

An Experiential Simulation Workshop for Results-Driven Leaders

“People don’t hate change—they hate poor change leadership.”

You will be immersed in Grolson, a supply chain company. Attend meetings, read emails and texts, make leadership decisions, and write plans. While you may not be in the supply industry, you will find your situation at Grolson:

  • Leaders who cheerlead the change and believe it will be the magic bullet
  • Leaders and employees who are cautiously optimistic
  • Leaders who are protecting their jobs and/or the positions under their division
  • Those who see nothing good coming from the change and dig in their heels to fight it.
