Turning Managers Into Leaders: Creating Change-Ready Organizations and Individuals

To take advantage of the exciting opportunities and challenges inherent in change, organizations must become Change-Ready out in front of the wave, not always trying to catch it; proactive, not reactive; leaders, not followers; creating change rather than waiting for it to happen. To create a Change-Ready culture, managers must become leaders, creating an environment where innovation flourishes, motivating people to embrace change, inspiring innovation and risk taking, coaching for peak performance and developing innovative out of the box strategies. Leaders must also be able to anticipate and overcome the resistance that is inevitable to change, innovation, and new ideas. In this program, Dr. Kriegel will teach the single most important characteristic of Change-Ready leaders, three of the most common types of resistance to change and how to overcome them, and four strategies for motivating people to change.
