Description
If you want to make a difference, you have to adapt to the ever-changing world of work.
But people don't like to change.
So, how can you move your team through a transition, when fear of the unknown, resistance and all kind of emotions kick in?
By preparing for those reactions; by trying to understand resistance instead of trying to break it down; by coaching your team and looking after yourself.
This course guides you through some simple principles sprinkled with a bit of management theory to help you prepare a change plan that will move your team through change.
It's not just the change period that's important, but making sure the results are sustained in the long-term.
Each section consists of one short video lecture, perfect for watching over a cup of coffee. You can then use the supportive materials to go over the material as you create your action plan.
The sections include:
- A video presentation with action points, theory and moments of reflection to apply the learning to your particular situation.
- A PDF document with the slides from the presentation.
- A PDF transcript of the script.
- The audio version of the lecture, in case you want to listen to it again in your MP3 player.
Who this course is for:
- Managers or team leaders
- Aspiring managers
- Team or group members who want to make a difference
