Today’s global business climate creates an ambiguous and unpredictable landscape for leaders to navigate. Change is constant—and difficult. This focused program is facilitated by leading experts in change management and includes cutting edge issues and approaches to organizational change. Effective leadership requires managers to understand that change unfolds in many different ways, resistance and support may come from diverse quarters, teamwork and influence skills are central, and learning from experience is invaluable. Organizational change also alters the web of relationships that connect employees within an organization. This session will introduce participants to social networks and their role in the change process. Participants will discover the underlying dynamics of change from expert presenters, in-class discussion, hands-on work, and a behavioral simulation. Managers will learn the language, tools and concepts of change management to become agile, creative, open-minded, effective change leaders.
