Gone are the days of status quo. We live in a constantly changing environment. As managers, team leaders, and team members we must keep our eyes on the prize of meeting customer requirements. One challenge is to create processes that are fluid and dynamic enough to handle change and still support our internal and external customer requirements. Another challenge is to bring people in different stages of readiness together to make the needed changes.

This one-day workshop, Leading Your Team Through Change - Part 1, is aimed at people who are trying to develop new skills and techniques to move their organization through escalating cycles of change.

  • How to identify goals and objectives and a plan to achieve the change vision
  • How to monitor progress towards the goals and objectives

As we discovered in Workshop 1, change is inevitable. The only control you have is your reaction to it. This course is designed to give you a structured process and tools that will sustain your team, keep it on track, and get results in a forever changing climate.

  • How to apply a 6-step process for removing the obstacles, changing the processes, and embracing change

  • How to recognize and reward the team and supporters
  • How to stay in touch with customer feedback to redefine goals without throwing the team off-track
