Join LEAD International’s Director of Global Training, Steve Collins, to explore what is needed to “Thrive in Change.” Steve has spent the last thirty years focusing on leadership and business development in a variety of global locations. He spent 8 years in China as a Foreign Expert and Regional Director for a US based consulting company and then 16 years in the Middle East leading a business development and consulting company. Currently based in the US, he supports LEAD’s affiliates and clients to develop their current and future leaders.
Each of Steve's training and consulting projects has provided a unique opportunity to learn together. Some of those learning opportunities include helping Red Cross workers transition from the Balkan Wars, young leaders in Lebanon learn how to lead in a crisis, airline staff in the Middle East adopt a new strategy, multi-cultural embassy staff develop team building skills, and middle managers in China integrate into multinational organizations.
This course explores change at the individual, organizational, and community level. We start with a foundational understanding of the change process and explore adoption stages and behavioral preferences. We then look at leadership approaches to overcome common resisters to change, build confidence among the team, and gain commitment across the organization and the community.
Our course features more than just videos and articles to help you better understand effective leadership in times of change. You will also be asked to reflect on your experiences as well as complete activities and assignments. Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to interact with the course facilitator and then receive an individual coaching session at the end.
By the end of the course you should be able to:
- Understand your own behavior as well as the behavior of your colleagues, managers, and subordinates in times of change
- Recognize the different stages of adoption and different levels of change
- Analyze critical influences of organizational and community change
- Use Force Field Analysis to identify drivers and restrainers to change
- Develop strategies to communicate and implement change strategies
