Resistance to change is among the top five generators of workplace drama, which can translate into hours of employee unproductivity. (Do employees request time to “grieve” when necessary changes are made for the organization to stay competitive? Do they complain that change is too hard?) But change isn't hard—it's only hard for the unready. This counterintuitive session is a call to greatness for the modern leader, whose role is to cultivate teams and talent to be ready for what's next. This can be achieved by debunking the change myths that fuel the need to sympathize with employees, preventing readiness for change. Leave with simple tools and practical strategies to ensure that your teams are able to quickly align, adapt and deliver per the organization’s need to meet the competitive demands of the market and customers.
