Managing Your Team in the Midst of Change



Helping employees cope with organizational change is a critical leadership competency that today’s managers need to perfect. Too often we forget that the key to successful change lies in individuals’ willingness to modify their habits. As a manager, you have a vital role to play in gaining a better understanding of your employees and interacting with them in a meaningful way. How do people usually react in a situation of change? What are the underlying causes of resistance? How can you help them develop their capacity to tolerate change? During this seminar, you will become acquainted with a number of practical models and tools to effectively deal with the human aspect of change.
