How to Lead & Manage Organizational Change

Course details

70% of change initiative fail! Are you tough enough to lead and manage change?! It is one of the most difficult things a manager must do. But it is also one of the most important! Individuals with strong change management and leadership skills are very much needed. But it is not for the faint of heart. I have the bruises and scars to prove it!

Make no mistake, this is not a light course! It's full of theory, best practices, detailed examples from my own experience and tough exercises that are going to make you think. You may find the going tough, but in the end, you will be well prepared to take on the challenges in the real world. Here's what we will cover....

Change Leadership encompasses vision, strategy, communication, developing trust and empowering others. Change management includes the structure for planning, implementing, managing, monitoring and adapting. And as good managers need to do both, I have incorporated both aspects in this course!

Completing this course will position you with the knowledge and skills to lead others through change. It will also give you the tools to manage the process in a structured and positive way, from initial planning through to successful completion.

If you are already managing people, this course will build your skills and help you see new ways that you can improve your leadership skills within your work environment. If you are new to management, this course will position you to be successful when you are required to step up to a challenging change initiative. And if you are aspiring to be a manager, this course will give you the skills that many employers seek.

By the end of this course you will:

• Understand what drives change in organizations
• Appreciate the impacts to individuals and have the skills to reduce negative consequences, such as resistance to change.
• Know the different models and phases of organizational change and the steps you need to take to plan, implement and monitor change.
• Have the skills to communicate and engage with stakeholders throughout the process, develop trust, remove resistance and empower positive action

The course uses a combination of video instruction, guided self reflections and assignments to develop a deep and personal understanding. But most importantly, this course incorporates my own experiences and tough lessons learned as a manager leading change in a constantly changing organization. I will also provide you with some simple and practical tools that you can use when it comes time for you to implement change. And the exercises will help you to analyze and develop new approaches that you can immediately use in your work.

This course includes over 1 hour total video lectures. And it will likely take you another 2 to 3 hours (maybe more!) for the written lectures and exercises.
