Description
Employ Change Management to Navigate and Overcome Challenging Situations
Building and managing resourceful and flexible teams is challenging when change feels constant. From staff resignations, retirements, realignments, and restructuring – higher education has a lot of moving parts, making it difficult to establish expectations and set the right tone. Institutional loyalty can be at risk amidst feelings of being undervalued, under-compensated and overworked.
Our presenter will help you overcome the obstacles and difficult situations that are critical to your work, especially when you feel like it is all too much to handle and everything keeps changing. Explore ways to be resourceful, especially considering that higher education budgets are consistently being decreased and enrollment is trending down.
Motivating your staff to work together is key
Help your staff feel more appreciated, even when being asked to pick up additional duties; meet students’ and other stakeholders’ expectations while protecting your staff’s sanity; and continue to place great value in the work you do.
