Maine Human Resources Convention

Track A: Employee Management and Development. Change is difficult. Present management practices, even though they may have outlived their efficiency, are at least comfortable and familiar. Despite the apparent advantages of a new way of doing things, we resist change. This session, led by David Stearns (President, Dale Carnegie Training of Maine), will focus on the impact of organizational changes. He’ll help you avoid the most common change management mistakes, understand a model for change, define the type of change currently occurring in your organization, and show you how to manage yourself and others during organizational change. You’ll leave this session with a manual full of management tips identifying the eight most common change management mistakes.
