Abstract:
Change is inevitable, yet resistance to change is common. Studies show that people will selectively focus on data that enables maintaining the status quo, even when overwhelming data indicates the need for change. Those who are resistant to change in their organizations often cope by ignoring the need for change or removing themselves from the organization, thus putting themselves and their organizations at a disadvantage. The ability to engage in and lead change is a practical skill set and, as such, can be taught. This workshop demonstrates how TBL is a solution to the challenge of teaching and facilitating change.
