Course detail: Leadership Live One-Day Workshop: Overcoming Resistance to Change
Organizational change is a process in which an organization optimizes performance as it works toward its ideal state, as a reaction to an ever-changing environment, or as a response to a crisis. Unfortunately, many people resist change because they fear the impact it will have on them or because they are not convinced of its merits.
