Don’t miss this timely discussion on how leaders can spearhead positive change in a constantly evolving workplace.

TAKEAWAYS

• Move, Minimize, Wait, Resist, and Quit are all natural and common reactions to change in the workplace. 

• Leaders must recognize and manage these diverse reactions instead of moving forward without employee buy-in.

• Each reaction has its strengths and limitations, and leaders can effectively tap into and leverage the strengths during times of change.

• A well-crafted case for change facilitates alignment and engagement throughout the organization.

• Leaders need to discern where their team members are in their journey through change and tailor their approach accordingly, and this requires a deep understanding of people's feelings, thoughts, and actions in the midst of change.
