Change is a constant feature in today’s workplace and this level of change certainly won’t go away and may indeed become more intense.
Studies show that the line manager has a critical role to play in ensuring staff are ready for change and in successfully implementing it. It can therefore be helpful to reflect on how we personally approach and manage change and how we can lead and support our teams through change.
