Course Overview

Organisations constantly evolve, presenting challenges for leaders and teams who may not always be fully informed about ongoing changes. Line managers face the task of supporting both themselves and their teams amidst shifting dynamics, especially when uncertainty leads to unproductive behaviours.

In response, managers may feel compelled to justify changes or promote their benefits, often encountering resistance. A collaborative, adult communication approach offers a solution, providing teams the opportunity to voice concerns and explore mutual benefits.

Participants will gain the confidence to manage day-to-day challenges while learning practical techniques to engage team members positively amid both negative and positive transformations.
