Leading Change Training That Supports Both Process & People

Felt up, down, and across your organization and industry, change can be seen as positive or negative, exciting or demoralizing, vital or unnecessary, easy or difficult — and often, all of the above.

While each new workplace disruption comes with its own new set of structures, systems, and processes, leading change successfully is about more than just managing what’s happening — that’s just half of the equation. The other half is leading people through the change, because while processes require management, people require leadership.

But it’s not an either/or; leading change effectively requires both people and process, which is why at CCL, we go beyond change management to focus on change leadership training.

Our approach to building the individual and collective capacity for change includes both the practical, process side of change and the human, people side.

More About Change Leadership Training

Change Leadership Requires Understanding Impact

A change initiative can be an opportunity to work differently, cultivate adaptability and growth, and achieve results with lasting impact. At the same time, organizations sometimes take on too much change at once, not recognizing that all changes — even positive ones — come at a cumulative cost.

To improve the odds of an organizational change initiative’s success, you need change leaders who can understand both sides of the change equation: both people and process. Your managers but must be able to support the change by understanding its impact and implementing the shift, as well as by communicating rationale, generating buy-in, and helping their teams navigate the transition. To get there, focus on providing access to quality change leadership programs, rather than just change management training for leaders. This gives your organization’s change efforts the best chance for success.

Leading Change Training Can Help Your Organization Achieve Success

Mid- and senior-level leaders have a critical role in leading change successfully. They must shift their mindsets and beliefs about change, and intentionally lead others in a way that fosters wellbeing and increases business performance.
