Description
Leading Successful Change
Leading successful change requires unfaltering commitment, skill and technique. The complexity of change can be so overwhelming that many managers simply don’t know where to start. Whether you want to learn how to manage organisational change or are in a position of restructuring or reorganising, this interactive and highly participative learning event will ensure that you get support and commitment from your people right from the start.
Delegates will enhance their skills to lead both transformational and incremental change – change that is physical and which also requires the careful management of people too – using simple, easy to apply and highly effective tools.
