Preparing to Lead Your Team Through Change

From major shifts in strategy to minor policy changes, we all find ourselves both leading and navigating change in the workplace. Change management is an essential skill for leaders of healthy and successful organizations because it enables them to navigate transitions effectively, minimize resistance, and maximize employee engagement – allowing the business to be resilient, innovate, and evolve. Effective change management goes beyond project management and technical tasks undertaken to enact organizational changes and involves leading the people side of change within an organization.   The purpose of this Skillsoft Journey “Preparing to Lead your Teams through Change” is meant to be a primer to re(introduce) you to leadership topics and skills that you will want to apply when leading your team through change, such as strategic thinking and influencing. It will also encourage to build upon your knowledge and previous experiences to think about how you can integrate what you know into this new context.   Learners are expected to complete all 5 tracks in the Skillsoft Journey, including the reflective prompts in the workbook. By the end of this Skillsoft Journey, you will be able to:• Summarize your leadership strengths and opportunities for further development that will enable you to successfully plan for change • Recognize how your prior learning and experiences will aid you in leading your team through change
