Managers are vanguards of change because they are the focal point for introducing new ideas, new products, and new services into the environment. Vanguards being the first in essentially function as lightning rods for the natural resistance to change hardwired into our humanity. Effective change management skills are the hallmark of the highly effective manager, regardless of industry, country, or culture.Ā Ā
The common denominator in this natural resistance to change is people who resist for a number of reasonsābecause they donāt understand, they donāt agree, or they possibly donāt care. Transforming this resistance into a supportive mindset without resorting to positional power is the simple definition of facilitative leadership. When your team or stakeholder group agrees to be advocates for your leadership and your vision, you have a much greater chance to optimize the expected outcomes for all stakeholders. The operative words in the preceding sentence are āall stakeholders.ā Facilitative leadership is predicated on the belief that getting results at the expense of the teamās mental and emotional wellbeing is not an acceptable way to lead.Ā
This 1-day workshop will provide you with insight, tools, and techniques on how to build this commitment and collaborative capital for which every organization is hungry.Ā
