Managing Change and Transition
|
Within organizations, leaders must guide and direct employees through changes while maintaining, or even improving, productivity. In this program, participants learn to anticipate the effects of change, recognize the ways people respond to change, and plan ways to implement strategies to manage change effectively.
Pre-work
Participants will be asked to think of and write about a change they experienced in their workplace. This short essay will be referred to during the class as a kind of personalized case study.
Post-work
At the conclusion of the program, participants will respond to the question, “Thinking about the change situation I brought to class, what was done well and what might be done better?” This concluding exercise will help participants retain key concepts and see how they can be applied in the work place.
