Covid-19 is arguably the largest global crisis of our time. You did not cause this crisis to occur, yet you deeply believe you are responsible to lead your people through it to the other side. In this course, you will learn how to identify the three stages of change they are experiencing, how to quickly recognize the signs of each stage, and specific strategies and techniques to lead your workforce through trying times.

An often-quoted statistic is the Towers Watson study that found 75% of large-scale change efforts fail, and this was under the more favorable circumstances in which the leadership initiated the change, let alone circumstances like this in which the change is forced upon you by a virus. Despite popular belief, organizations fail to thrive in change not due to technology or process problems, but because leaders fail to grasp and manage the fundamental personal aspects of change, which flow in three recognizable stages.

Leaders who understand these stages, who know what to do and say in each stage and – equally important – what not to do and say, not only survive the change, but also build highly innovative organizations that thrive on change going forward.

This course will help you develop the confidence to become one of these leaders. You’ll learn:

• The three stages of personal change: Losses & Endings, Transition, and New Beginnings.
• How to discern which stage individuals are in, and which stage the company as a whole is in.
• The clues and signs that your workforce may be experiencing hardship.
• How to successfully guide your people through each stage.
• What not to do and say in each stage.
• How to leverage the crisis to create once-in-a-lifetime innovation in your company.
• How to build a change-resilient organization.
