This extremely interactive course is designed to build your skill and knowledge so that you can help others understand and manage their plans, behaviors and attitudes around organizational change issues. You will be able to proactively identify and manage change by helping others assess opportunities and engage in solution-oriented thinking related to challenges. You will assess various personality types and their initial reaction to change so that you can proactively create teams and processes (i.e., communication, information sharing, project planning) that capitalize on strengths and empower work groups to function as teams in the midst of often times, chaotic situations. You will learn a simple four-step model for encouraging the open exchange of ideas and knowledge.
