Leadership in Changing Times !
It is said that it is changing and challenging times that leadership most keenly felt and needed. It requires all leaders to develop not only a plan but to have a leadership strategy and approach that best facilitates the process of planning change and implementing new ideas and programs.
For some change is viewed as an opportunity and a challenge that is taken on with a positive and even adoptive attitude. For other change is viewed as another mountain that must be climbed and it is particularly unwanted and resisted if there has already been a lot of change.
The key is to change management from a leadership perspective – having and transferring that vision and being keenly aware of all its short and long-term benefits. This workshop discusses the impact change in depth, selective vs. imposed change, the attraction of predictability. We’ll also discuss why some people willingly look at change as something to accept and why others are hesitant and resist. Finally, we’ll look at the seven import steps in leading people though change and as a bonus module we’ll talk about keys to employee engagement.
