Leading Change: Training for Both Processes and People
Leading Change Requires More Than Just Managing It
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 change 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.
Our approach to building the individual and collective capacity for change includes both the practical, process side of change and the human, people side. Our proven change leadership training can help your leaders at all levels face the complexity of leading change, adapting to disruption, and successfully executing your business strategy.

More About Change Leadership
Leading Change First Requires Understanding Its Impact
Change can be an opportunity to think differently, cultivate new mindsets for adaptability and growth, and achieve results with lasting impact.
But too many organizations focus on change management instead of change leadership. They do too much at once, not recognizing that all changes — even positive ones — come at a cumulative cost.
To improve the odds of success, you need change leaders who can understand and navigate both halves of the change equation: both people and process.
Achieve Success in Your Change Leadership Initiatives
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.
Our change leadership solutions equip leaders — and, in turn, your organization as a whole — to become more “change-capable.” We do this by helping leaders work collectively to develop the capacity, skills, and resilience needed for leading change in service of organizational goals.
Whether you’re looking for a customized solution to uplift and transform your entire organization, or scalable programs designed to strengthen your individual leaders’ effectiveness at adapting to or leading change, we offer a variety of change leadership solutions for every budget.
