Navigating Your Team through Strategic Change
Today's business leaders face a dynamic business environment that requires continual transformation of products, processes, and people. As former U.S. Army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki put it, "If you dislike change, you're going to dislike irrelevance even more." Advances in technology and the evolution of customers' and investors' values drive enterprises toward strategic change in order to remain relevant and profitable. Because the success of strategic change management largely depends on the behavior of the people within an organization, team leaders play a critical role. In this course, you will discover effective strategies for communicating about change with your team. You will learn how to adjust your team's activities to achieve broad company-wide goals for change. Organizational change is difficult, both to initiate and to maintain. This course will help you to overcome obstacles, including various types of employee resistance to change. You'll learn tools for sustaining change. Throughout, the emphasis is on honest, targeted communication, dialogue, and listening.

Leadercamp on-demand: Dealing with Change as Humans
Humans are hardwired to resist change. Change is unavoidably difficult. And due to technology and a more distributed workforce, change has become more constant and unpredictable. But understanding how we process change can improve how we respond to it, so we think before reacting. The old model of "just suck it up and deal with it" is outdated and only leads to stress. Understanding how we process change as humans is important to learning how to react to it more gracefully and professionally. In this Leadercamp, speaker, trainer, coach, and veteran of the corporate world Joe Shaffner will demystify how we as humans process, react to, and respond to change, and some best practices for dealing with change.

Leadercamp on-demand: The Catalyst
What do you want to change? Everyone has something they want to change. Employees want to change their boss' mind and leaders want to change organizations.

Could there be a better way? In this Leadercamp, Wharton School professor and bestselling author Jonah Berger introduces a revolutionary approach to change.
