Description
Change is inevitable in business. Reliable leadership change management ensures the success of your team during difficult transitions and helps team members adjust and remain committed. But, how do you keep your team members focused on performance amidst the distractions of complex change initiatives? As a team leader, you must effectively manage organizational change by handling the emotions, fear, and anxiety that accompany it and encouraging your team members to support new initiatives. Understanding the three phases of change– resistance, exploration, and acceptance – allows you to more clearly communicate transformations and help your team members embrace change. Vital Learning’s Supporting Change™ is a management training course that equips supervisors, team leaders, and managers with the tools to understand and interpret change so they can more successfully guide their teams through it.
