It's all about enabling and empowering team members to make sustainable change possible.

Overview

Organizations and cultures must change to win – it’s that simple. However, 70 percent of change initiatives fail to meet or sustain their objectives. The discriminating difference between success and failure with process, technology or culture change comes down to the level and quality of leadership engagement. To transition from vision to visible results, engaging leaders take the steps required to ensure team members understand why the change is necessary, how it will impact the company and employees, and what will and won’t be done to make the change successful. By leading from the WHY and HOW, leaders avoid the ambiguity that enables employee resistance. Engaging leaders help employees grasp why they should care. This highly interactive workshop will explore a four-element model to make that possible and may include small group exercises followed by a short debrief.
