Leading Continuous Change
Leading Continuous Change Course Details:
There is no shortage of research suggesting the majority of change initiatives fail. Factors such as the lack of a clear vision, misalignment of leaders, inadequate communication, and failure to hold people accountable all negatively impact the results of organizational change initiatives.
The challenge is that there is no sign of the pace and amount of change slowing. In today’s digitally disrupted world, continuous change is the new normal. To be successful, you must be able to prioritize and manage multiple change initiatives, avoid change fatigue, and ensure individuals and teams remain committed and connected to the direction of the organization.
