This workshop will provide a framework for managers to address people’s resistance to change and techniques to create alignment with leadership goals.
Most companies today have respect for people, focus on customers and innovation in their mission statements. Making these concepts real in the middle and lower levels of the company is a challenge that is often delegated downward with little or no meaningful support from the top. Discover how unfreezing a company culture requires alignment up and down the organization, and yet the real work of unfreezing is left to managers to implement.
