Change Management
To succeed, leaders must have an intimate understanding of the human side of change management — the alignment of the company's culture, values, people, and behaviors — to encourage the desired results.
Movers & Shakespeares uses the key characters in "Taming of the Shrew" to illustrate change management. These characters are all stuck when the drama opens. But an expert in change management enters, seeking to change the behavior of Kate, the shrew; of her family; and of her whole society. Petruchio succeeds royally, but gets changed himself during the process.
Most amazing in this "case study" of change management is how the change-agent, Petruchio, tells us what he intends to do, makes big change, manages the change process carefully, evaluates its results along the way, and draws general conclusions.
He sure doesn't seem like a high-priced consultant making big changes. He just acts like one.
Movers & Shakespeares highlights the key elements of change management by pulling together some of Shakespeare's most famous speeches and scenes, teaching participants first-hand how to manage change.
