EMBRACE CHANGE, DON’T FEAR IT.
Approaching change, from a leadership perspective, is perhaps the most complex dynamic leaders face. Why? 1. Because nothing cuts to the heart and soul of the human being more than change. 2. Change causes us to ask LOTS, and I mean LOTS, of questions. 3. Change creates images of uncertainty and moves us away from the truth we currently experience. 4. Finally, as a leader, your ability to guide change either builds your team’s capacity or erodes it.
In this course, we’re going to cover various information on being a leader through change. Understand at the onset, some people are ‘good’ with change, and others are not. As a leader, it is important to know that 80% of your problems will come from 20% of your population when you begin to lead change. While you might have 8 out of 10 people on board for the change, the other two might fight you tooth-and-nail to resist change. Each person has a threshold when it comes to change. So, knowing your team and what those change thresholds are is incredibly important.
Having plenty of resources to access from your leadership toolkit is a significant advantage. Yet, you also need to understand the psychology of change and familiarity with change management models. Furthermore, you must possess exceptional communication skills and clear objectives to the initiative you or your organization is about to experience. From this knowledge, you will get your change process across the finish line. That’s where this course comes in handy!
