Overview
People resist change because it brings uncertainty and the fear of losing stability. Overcoming that resistance takes social intelligence: the strategic ability to read and influence other people's emotions and relationships.
This 60-minute change management webinar shows how social intelligence skills help leaders manage organizational change, including thoughtful empathy, building valuable relationships, improving teamwork, managing conflict, showing executive presence and guiding stakeholders toward change objectives.
Using case studies, you'll learn to spot where resistance threatens your objectives, find where change policies clash with people's emotional drivers, and adapt the strategies outstanding leaders use. You'll also see how to help others in your organization build their own change management skills.
Why attend: The future is increasingly disrupted and uncertain, and organizations must change to meet their goals. Because resistance to change is part of human nature, anyone leading change has to influence stakeholders to work against that instinct. This session suits HR leaders and professionals, internal change managers, consultants and trainers, department managers and directors, supervisors and vice presidents.
