You’re on the hunt for a job that’s fulfilling, a company with a mission statement you’re proud of, or a product you’re passionate about. Maybe you want more flexible hours, greater opportunities for promotions, or the chance to use a different skill set. But before you jump ship, you might want to slow down and consider a few questions that Front Line Leadership offers to determine what’s influencing your decision to take another job. That way, you won’t regret a career change down the road.

With new technologies entering the marketplace almost daily, it’s hard to keep running any business the same as it was run even two years ago. Change is inevitable and happens more rapidly now than ever it seems.  For every industry out there, change may take on a variety of forms.

As previously discussed in The Impact of Change in The Workplace, change can be difficult in the workplace for both employees and managers. While change can bring about positive progress in a company, overcoming the stress, anxiety, and resistance can be a hard summit to climb. A good manager/leader will need tools to help lead their team to the other side of change.

As written by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley in Frankenstein, “Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.” And yet change is inevitable. Not only in our day to day lives, but also in our workplaces. While some changes bring about positive progress, some changes at their onset, can seem negative and overwhelming.

Managing Change is the tenth and final session of the Front Line Leadership Program. Change is inevitable, both in life and in the workplace. This module will equip the leaders in your workplace to communicate upcoming changes, understand how these changes will affect their team members, and deal with any resulting resistance.
