Hi All,
I am looking for some material, hopefully off the shelf, that will enable me to run a face to face workshop on Change Management / Leadership.
I have been researching the topic for a couple of days and am in a daze:)
My target audience is front line and middle managers.
From their point of view they would benefit from a simple model to follow with a strong emphasis of the people side of change and how to lead their teams through change.
Is there an off the shelf package that you have used in the past or could recommend a supplier?
Thanking you in advance
Brendon

Bridges and Transitions
Hi Brendon
To echo some contributors to this forum – what are your objectives?
Change management is a huge topic and is different to leadership. Leadership during change is not the same as the practice of change management.
Given what you’ve said I’d recommend keeping it simple and basing your work on William Bridges (Managing Transitions, making the Most of Change). He distills the human response to change into a transition curve and describes what managers can do to support individuals at different stages. Nothing unique or original but well packaged.
Let me know if you want more info.

Ready made sessions
Hi Brendan,
I wonder if these two bite-size sessions would be of interest? They would easily make half a day together, and are n’t that expensive. They are aimed at employees and first line managers, so I wouldn’t recommend them for use with more senior people.

Hi Brendon,
Have a look at the book by Barbara Senior with the title "Organisational Change". I found this very interesting on managing change.
