The Change Leadership Booklet

The best change model I have ever seen’ Chris Wareham, Management Development Manager, RIAS


About this booklet

There is no question that change leadership continues to be high on the agenda for most organisations. The problem facing many people comes down to two key issues. Firstly there is the need to exercise sound judgement and to make the right decision. The last thing an organisation needs is to implement decisions that result in things becoming worse not better. Secondly there is the critical issue of how to engage people in the change process. Many great change ideas have failed because they have been met with resistance or apathy from the people charged with their implementation. This booklet deals with both of these issues and guides you through the key issues to consider and to manage
It is not a text book or an academic reference. It is designed to be used as follows:
  • It can be used as a core part of a training programme on change leadership to prompt group discussions, debate and action planning.
  • It can b used as part of a coaching session. A coach might use some of the questions and challenges to get the person being coached to reflect on changes that have taken place and to plan for specific changes they wish to introduce
  • It can be used by a manager/leader/director with their own team. The questions and concepts presented in this booklet are powerful ways to help facilitate a team discussion about how the team manages change and how it might improve their approach to change leadership in the future. Either the manager can work with the material or an expert facilitator can guide people through the process
  • It can be used as a self development workbook for someone interested in expanding their understanding of change leadership
