Leading Teams During Change & Uncertainty
This course teaches leaders how to communicate effectively with their teams during organizational transitions using the ADAPT Model. The framework provides a structured sequence for change communication that builds trust and reduces resistance: Acknowledge emotions and validate concerns, Describe the vision and rationale, Address specific concerns directly, Participate by inviting involvement, and Track progress with visible accountability. Participants learn that effective change communication requires addressing emotional needs before logical explanations. By the end of the session, participants will be able to demonstrate communication techniques that address team concerns during organizational transitions using the ADAPT Model.
Micro-credentials demonstrate your knowledge, skills and abilities and create a more complete picture of your capabilities.
