SUPPORTING CHANGE
"Reorganization, new business strategies, new management. How can my department stay focused on the customer with all this change?"
Change has become an ever-present and important part of business today. Organizations that fail to change find it increasingly difficult to compete and survive in today's marketplace. But how do you keep employees focused on performance with all the distractions caused by change initiatives? How do managers deal with the emotions, fear and anxiety that come with change?
Supporting Change provides the tools managers need to understand and interpret change - in order to more successfully manage their team through it. By working to support change while addressing the team's comfort level with that change, the manager can more effectively facilitate acceptance of a new way of doing things.
