NLN LEAD: Managing Change in Organizations

Leading Through Change


Throughout our leadership careers, we will inevitably take on leading and managing change. For some, this is an exciting time of innovation and discovery. For others, leading change can be challenging and daunting. The reality is change is both. This webinar will focus on essential skills leaders must have to lead successful change initiatives. We will explore what happens when we get stuck during the change process and how to bring even the most resistant colleague along.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Understand why change can be hard.
  • Name at least 3 skills leaders need to lead successful change efforts, including overcoming resistance.
  • Apply learning and insights to a current project or initiative.
