Change Management Strategies

Course Description:

 

The New Workplace requires a new type of worker, one who does more, takes orders and does good work but who also knows more about the process of the work they are doing than their manager. In turn, this requires a new type of manager – one who “facilitates” the process, rather than “directs” it and effectively manages knowledge workers. Now, it is more important than ever before that change is managed to keep organizations efficient and effective.

Many project managers do not have the authority to direct the activities of people on their teams – they can only influence them. The most influential people succeed by focusing less on themselves and their message and more on others. They pay attention; they are brave; they are vulnerable; they are curious, and they look for and acknowledge the things that are important about, and to, the other person. And they model the behavior that they want to see. This book tells you how.

Pearce provides tools and frameworks for building a culture of appreciation, understanding character strengths, mapping leadership qualities, understanding learning styles, identifying team roles, and executing plans. She also explores the factors that contribute to conflict and tensions as well as strategies for getting through difficult times. We see these tools and techniques in action through “Maggie”, a project manager who is struggling to motivate her team. Each chapter concludes with reflective questions to make the ideas stick and with key strategies for success.
