Change readiness for leaders

  • Online or in-person
  • Format: Introductory training (90 minutes)

This session supports leaders to navigate change in their workplace. Participants learn three evidence-based strategies that can help them and their teams to prepare for change and adapt more quickly and successfully.

Our psychologists introduce the well-accepted model, the Kübler-Ross Change Curve, which allows leaders to better understand and normalise varied reactions to change. We briefly cover the science of change, how other non-work factors may impact on people’s responses, and how to develop a change-readiness action plan.
