A New Way of Doing Things?

Change is often met with resistance. As Woodrow Wilson insightfully noted, "If you want to make enemies, try to change something." This encapsulates the challenge faced by many leaders when it comes to implementing change.

So, how do we navigate this terrain? How do we inspire individuals to not only accept change but to embrace it willingly? This is the essence of effective change management.

In our newly unveiled Legacy program, we cover some critical aspects of managing change, including:

- Identifying when you're facing a change management challenge.
- Understanding the factors that influence people's receptiveness to change.
- Recognizing the significant determinants of openness to change.
- Strategies to enhance the likelihood of successful change adoption.
- Analyzing organizational dynamics to discern supporters and detractors of change.
- Identifying obstacles that could thwart your change management initiatives.
- Exploring why change management is often more successful in elite consulting firms compared to other organizations.
- Michael's top six books for understanding leadership and change.
- Empowering individuals to navigate and thrive amidst change.
- Core principles of change management.
- The importance of involving and trusting people with initiatives.
- Essential actions that underscore the seriousness of your initiatives.
- Common pitfalls in change management efforts.
