Leading Change

When change occurs, it’s not just the organization that needs to change, but the people within it. While people generally want their situation to improve, they don’t necessarily want the pain or inconvenience of changing their own behavior or habits. So, how can managers create and maintain the motivation for change?

We’re excited to partner with Bellrock Benchmarking Inc. to bring you this session where you’ll learn just how to navigate resistance, engage your team, and drive successful change!
