Key takeaways:

• How can leaders best navigate change? The principles of change leadership are about being very clear about the outcome of where everyone's going. If not, members of the team can feel isolated and unheard.
• It’s important to understand our stress response: The Change Cycle helps demonstrate the different stages of change. It brings an opportunity to be more proactive, creative, collaborate and engage with people.
• The role of Change Managers: they help everyone in the organisation build healthy relationships with change. It is an organisational change imperative where they go beyond just a presentation. People who are responsible for the change management plan need to focus as much on the change management plan for managers as they do for employees.
