Change is often inevitable when changes are made under new management, mergers, hostile takeovers, or acquisitions. Change can be disruptive because some people adapt well to change - some tolerate it - while others dislike it and try to ignore it or hide their heads in the sand. Announcing that changes will occur is easy; it makes your organization look bold and forward-thinking. However, implementing those changes can be challenging because no matter the reasons for making those changes, there will always be resentment and resistance, especially when the changes require a new way of working or painful budget cuts. This session will teach you and your management team how to assess how each team member might respond to change and use that understanding to make the transition smoother and lead your team through those changes. This session can be delivered virtually, online and in person.
