Do any of the questions listed below sound familiar?
- How do you support your team when your job and your role are being turned upside down?
- How do you appear eager and supportive of upper management when your job and your role are being turned upside down?
If so, then I’ve designed this ActionPack™ just for you.
The most difficult role I encounter during change management consulting engagements is those “middle managers” caught in between their teams and the executives responsible for a change initiative. There are three forces at work in a middle manager’s world:
- They have to deal with their own personal transition as changes occur,
- They need to appear eager and supportive of the business situation to their superiors and
- They need to provide leadership and, in some cases, emotional support too their own team.
This is a difficult role to perform and requires skills and knowledge to perform well.
I built this ActionPack™ to provide managers with “change management” skills and knowledge. This ActionPack™ provides a path to understanding your current situation and describes actions to take to address specific situations commonly encountered.
My ActionPacks™ are designed to walk you down a Learning Path that provides a working solution to the challenge you're experiencing. The list below provides an overview of this product's content. There are many additional tools, templates, checklists and tips embedded in each step of the process.Living and Leading Through Change for Managers1. Assess the Situation |
