Change Is a Good Thing 1-Day Seminar
A high-
ranking senior manager (with authority) strolls to the front of the auditorium, which is filled with all the employees of your company. Within the first 30 seconds of his speech he says, “…And in three months our company will undergo a thorough reorganization.” What is your first thought? If you are like most people your first thought is, “What about MY job?” Fear and anxiety are now a part of your life and will be for some time to come.
Change, in and of itself is a good thing, but only if it’s handled correctly. The previous example is NOT the correct way. Making a change in the company, organization, or even your own division is done with solid communication and the understanding of who works with you and around you.
