Change management coaching

Coaching sessions are a great way to prepare your people for uncertain times, inspire your change champions or develop your new change management function.

Who this service is for

Change management coaching is suited to organizations seeking to empower their leaders and teams to effectively manage and navigate upcoming changes. It ensures that the change efforts are well-led, fostering a culture of adaptability and resilience.

It helps address risks like:

Leadership misalignment: Without alignment, leaders may send conflicting messages, causing confusion and resistance.

Inconsistent communication: Poor leadership communication strategies can lead to misunderstandings and reduce trust among employees.

Resistance to change: Unmanaged resistance can derail the change process, leading to delays and reduced effectiveness.

Low employee morale: Poorly managed change can lead to disengagement, decreased productivity, and increased turnover.

Decision-making paralysis: Leaders may sometimes struggle to make timely decisions, stalling the change process.

Ineffective delegation: Leaders may struggle to delegate work and decisions effectively, resulting in overload, underutilization of team members and mismatched expertise.

Lack of accountability: Without clear accountability, initiatives may falter, leading to missed deadlines and objectives.

Skill gaps: Unknown or unaddressed skill gaps can hinder the successful adoption of new processes and technologies.

A study in the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology found that employees who received change coaching were 25% more adaptable to organisational changes, leading to smoother transitions and less resistance compared to those without coaching support.
