Leading Successful Change

Too often, organisations fail to achieve a return on investment in change; there's too much pain and not enough gain. At the heart of the matter is the effect of change on people's motivations; the very things that drive people to excel at work are deeply threatened No wonder people oppose or avoid change. The good news is that by understanding what makes people tick you can reverse the situation. By working with the grain of human nature you can channel people's energy and ingenuity in pursuing change rather than in opposing it, leading to far greater success than you might ever have imagined. This seminar turns change on its head. Instead of learning about overcoming resistance, you will find out how to harmonise change with human nature. You learn the importance of ensuring that people remain certain, purposeful, in control, connected and successful during times of change. As a result, they work positively with change rather than suffering through it.
