Getting your team to perform at a high level is easy, as long as you have the right leadership development courses.

Session #3 Leading People Through Change:
As a team leader, you must effectively manage organizational change by handling the emotions, fear and anxiety that accompany it and encourage your team members to support new initiatives. Understanding the three phases of change – resistance, exploration and acceptance – allows you to more clearly communicate transformations and help your team members embrace change. Leading People Through Change is a management training course that equips supervisors, team leaders and managers with the tools to understand and interpret change so they can more successfully guide their teams through it. By working to support change while addressing the team’s comfort level with it, team leaders will more effectively manage organizational change and facilitate acceptance of new processes and procedures.
