The Resilient Manager
Build a mindset of resilience, grit and change leadership
Overview
Even with a solid grounding in people practices, managers need specific tools and methods to guide staff through today’s spectacular pace of change in business conditions and within their organizations. This seminar helps you build employee buy-in, cooperation and productivity when changes occur due to revamping outdated processes, working for a new boss, experiencing budget cuts, mergers or other sources of turmoil in a person’s work routine. It starts with practical Emotional Intelligence techniques to support the often overlooked feelings and mindset within the team, then explores approaches to helping people adapt and develop behaviours and strategies leading to breakthrough performances.
