Rick Maurer: Program Outlines

Did you ever come up with a great idea, only to find that the more you talked, the less people liked it? You're not alone. Nearly two-thirds of all organizational changes fail. Our inability to work with resistance is the major reason for such poor results. In an age of reengineering, corporate restructuring, mergers, and a host of other changes, executives, managers, and project leaders must be skilled at handling resistance. This presentation, based on Rick Maurer's book, Beyond the Wall of Resistance: Unconventional Strategies That Build Support for Change...
• Shows why the conventional ways of dealing with resistance - using power, deal making, force of reason, ignoring it - actually increase opposition
  
• Tells frustrated managers at all levels how to transform the power of resistance into a positive force
  
• Gives practical strategies that build support for change
  
• Provides tools grounded in real-world experience that invite immediate application

This speech is practical - and gives people hope. People leave with new ways of thinking about how they lead change and with ideas for implementing new initiatives successfully.
