Overview
Today there is tremendous demand for change in individuals, in organizations, and society. Which means that there is a tremendous demand for quality change leadership. Change comes in many forms. First is incremental or developmental change, which is just getting better at what we already do. Second is transitional change, which moves the organization from a current state, to a new different future state. Third is transformational change, where the fundamental assumptions of our business model are being questioned and are shifting. Transformational change is the most challenging type of change because people are required to change their mindset. Leaders today are being called upon to lead more and more transformational change and guide their people and organization into their new realities. On this module you will learn how to lead organizational change, support your people through change, create practical change plans, implement and monitor change. Topics include:

Prepare Effective Change Plans

Skilled leaders set objectives to align with broader organizational goals and break down those objectives into appropriate initiatives and actions. This module will provide you with the knowledge and tools to create excellent change plans.
Coach for Performance
Developing a coaching approach is an effective way to manage change and encourage people to embrace it. When introducing change, it’s important to understand why people may resist it. By adopting a coaching approach, you can help individuals navigate the change process and overcome any resistance they may have. One effective technique is to share the reason for the change, explaining how it will benefit both the organization and the individual. This approach helps people see the value in the change and encourages them to engage in the change process. Through coaching, individuals can be empowered to take ownership of the change, helping to create a sense of accountability and commitment to the new way of doing things.
