change management put into practice!
Make your teams stronger than ever and amaze your customers

NEW HALF-DAY FORMULA: in-company and truly tailor-made.
 

Min. 20 - Max. 50 participants
English, Dutch, French, German or Italian

Change management is too often somewhat theoretical, too general and far away from our day-to-day issues. More than ever, we need to know precisely what to do, how to be more efficient AND more relaxed, reach our goals with a smile and outpace competition with cutting-edge management practices and customer relationships. This is about change, isn't it?

Let me introduce you to an old champion of human chemistry, change management, management excellence, right-to-the-point actions and consequent results: Confucius. Exactly, precisely: Confucius. Here are a couple of critical issues that we will address successfully, along with hints, tips and techniques to pilot, boost and master change management:

Want to get for your team the full juice out of powerful and smart Confucius' thinking and acting?

Confucius is 2 500 years old, still highly modern and right to the point. He is in fact the precursor of change management, "managing by example" and originated both the concept and reality of "best practices". A great teacher and stupendous manager indeed! It is certainly not without reason that he is called "The Master".

You have today a unique chance to participate in a highly interactive, practical and hands-on half-day workshop about change. This will be a memorable learning experience for you. I guarantee it. Zero blah blah. Total focus on you, your business, your team, your issues, with Confucius’ support. I'll explain now.

You know this gentleman already. He was a highly successful manager in China. Remember this quotation from the wise Confucius:

I hear and I forget
I see and I remember
I do and I understand.

His disciples brought together the Analects, where all Confucius' discussions with them are presented. It's not an easy read, but I have made it transparent for managers like you in my new book: "Confucius Talks to Managers". This is the starting point of our workshop. Here we go:

I'll make Confucius' best practices crystal-clear for you

As I just said, this half-day change management workshop is linked with my latest book “Confucius Talks to Managers”, that will be yours at the end of the workshop. It is an in-depth study of Confucius’ change management best practices, remarkably described in his “Analects”. We will discuss in small groups a set of crucial issues that I have prepared for you on 8 great excerpts from the Analects that will help you pilot change practices.

→ Now: what's in it for you?

1. I encourage you to form groups of 5 - 6 business colleagues of the same team to boost idea generation and exchange, in order to come up with a variety of new approaches or solutions to issues at hand.

2. Prior to the workshop, you'll receive an introductory 7-day e-course, repackaged for you at the end in a booklet: "Confucius Management e-Lessons". This is to get familiar with the methodology.

3. The subjects that we will discuss, emphasize and develop have been selected by many managers like you in the previous change management workshops I have organized and are part of "Confucius Talks to Managers":

As I said earlier, the subjects are:

4. What do we do with this material? Simple: you will scrutinize and address in small groups a set of challenging issues that I have prepared for you for each subject. You will like this, because it's directly, intimately and purposefully linked with what you have to change in your day-to-day, your strategic options, your goals, your successful life.

Those who know me won't be surprised to hear and see me asking, proposing, challenging, gently provoking. With a smile, as we are there to achieve results only.

5. The top 5 ideas, tips, actions to activate appropriate change will be listed after each subject.

6. At the end of the half-day workshop, you'll receive "the" book, the full eBook version of "Confucius Talks to Managers". I can tell you: Confucius gives us a pure goldmine. I call it "Action Goldmine". In the book I feature 40 excerpts from the Analects, Confucius' "Bible", so to say, and it's full of thinking and acting tools to lead change and let your high-performance team skyrocket!
