Your team has a specific culture that’s based on past leadership, old habits, and a workforce with many people who have been on staff for 30+ years, as well as newer and/or younger employees who bring a decidedly different set of values to the table. It is critical that you understand your overall culture, including individual and organizational ethics, before you can begin to change that culture from the “old way” to the “new way.” This course explains how you can accomplish change while continuing to maintain the highest ethical conduct, even as you incorporate the very best new ideas and concepts. Exercises include a survey on organizational culture and perceived ethics.

Designed as a discussion of all past and present initiatives undertaken by your organization, with a root-cause exploration of each perceived success or failure. Includes the “5 Whys” drill-down tool, which leverages lessons learned to improve implementation of future initiatives. Based on Rick Maurer’s book on change resistance, Why Don’t You Want What I Want? - Bard Press, Altanta GA, Copyright 2005 All Rights Reserved, this course includes exercises on recognizing, understanding, and managing all types of resistance; it also provides a proven method for mitigating resistance before you implement change.

Studies have proven that each individual in an organization has a preferred way to assimilate and dispense information, and a preferred way to deal with other people. This course includes a full personality assessment based on an overview of the Wilson Social Styles. Effective methods for dealing with others in your organization (both leaders and subordinates) are discussed, along with a quick way to determine who is on your team.
