Coaching High Performers Through Resistance to Change

Inviting input from high performers early and often in the change process is one of the major keys to managing resistance in organizations. Join Dr. Janet Pilcher as she welcomes Dr. Charlotte Boling, a Leader Coach at Studer Education, to share how she coaches her partners to proactively prepare employees for success throughout the change process.  Listen as Charlotte elaborates on the necessity of "facing the brutal facts"  and explains how engaging high performers helps leaders to identify potential challenges and provide necessary support through organizational shifts.

This episode addresses questions such as:

• How does "facing the brutal facts" help leaders implement change?
• What proactive measures can leaders take to set up employees for success throughout the change process?
• How can leaders create a supportive culture that encourages feedback from high performers?
