Course Overview

Do you want to understand why people resist organisational change? Are you looking to improve your leadership style to ensure your team has full trust in you? Do you require solutions for getting buy-in from your employees? If so, this is the course for you!

In the business world today, you must remain competitive. To ensure this, businesses must constantly adjust their technologies and operational processes. In some cases, employees will be receptive to the changes, but in most cases, they will resist anything they believe will remove them from their comfort zone. As a leader, you must know how to deal with this barrier and you must be able to help your workers see the benefits of transformations and make the transition as smooth as possible. Further emphasising this is the fact that research shows that 42% of workers struggle to accept change as they do not trust their leader.

Through a series of engaging video lectures, you will gain valuable insights into managing change and overcoming resistance within your organisation. Change is an inevitable aspect of business, and understanding how to navigate and facilitate transitions is crucial for success. By exploring various models and strategies, you will learn how to effectively lead your employees through periods of change and drive successful transformation within your company. Throughout the course, you will cover the following key topics. We will start by helping you understand change resistance and gain a deep understanding of what change resistance is and why employees are often disinclined to accept transitions.

Additionally, we will explore the psychological and emotional factors that contribute to resistance and learn how to identify and address them effectively. We will then address The Satir Change Model and dive into this powerful framework developed by family therapist Virginia Satir. Here you will learn how to apply this model to guide your workers through each stage and foster acceptance and adaptability. You will then explore the various barriers that commonly hinder organisations from successfully transforming. We will dive in and examine factors such as organisational culture, lack of communication, fear of the unknown, and employee engagement, and understand how they can impede change initiatives. Finally, we will look at how you can overcome transformation factors and help you develop practical strategies and techniques to manage the things that prevent adjustments within your company. In this final lecture, you will learn how to foster a positive and supportive environment, enhance communication channels, address employee concerns, and build resilience and agility to facilitate successful change.

By the end of this course, you will have gained a comprehensive toolkit to effectively manage change and navigate resistance within your organisation.
