Why do people do everything in their power to avoid making difficult changes? Why do some jump in with both feet? Why are some leaders more successful at guiding people through change? It’s not charisma. Navigating change is a partnership between employees and leaders. The good news is that there are proven steps you can take to predict the response to change and help people embrace it successfully.
In this session, participants learned:
How to interpret common reactions to strategic change and recognize resistance factors
A simple method to diagnose perceptions, assess impact and determine how much support to provide when rolling out a change
How to apply a 5-Point Early Warning System to predict employee responses and select tactics to address potential issues in advance
Tactics that successful leaders apply to build anticipation and reframe negative perception to positive engagement
