Course Overview

When change management and resistance is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in management and resistance is earned separately. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a leadership plan for this strand of organisational leadership as they go. Participants who influence change management and resistance without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Improvement in this part of organisational leadership stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in management and resistance that were visible long before the incident. The course sets out a working method for change management and resistance that participants can apply the week they return. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about management and resistance. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this aspect of organisational leadership rather than a set of notes.
