Your Early Warning System for Change Resistance
Your Early Warning System for Change Resistance
Thursday, November 30, 2023 - 6:00pm to 8:00pm
Why do some people do everything in their power to avoid making difficult changes? Why do others jump in with both feet? Can you predict it? Yes!
The good news is that the indicators of resistance also tell us what we can do to reduce it. Discover the proven steps backed by psychological principles you can take to anticipate the response to change and help people embrace it successfully.
This session will cover:
- How to interpret common reactions to strategic change and recognize the difference between resistance and confusion.
- A simple method to diagnose perceptions, assess impact and determine how much support to provide when rolling out a change.
- How to apply a 5-Point Early Warning System to predict employee responses and select tactics to address potential issues in advance.
- Apply a host of proven tactics for inspiring buy-in and sustaining momentum during disruptive change.
