This program explores ethical decision-making and its significance to your organization and your own sense of personal integrity.

Managing Change: Tools for Success

Change usually means that we personally must adjust and adapt to something new &endash; something that may threaten our confidence and sense of identity. Succeeding in today's changing environment requires a different approach than succeeding under conditions of stability and predictability. One predictor of success is the degree to which your corporate culture is change adaptive rather than change incompatible. You will continue to have the words "change agent" on your job description! Learn how individuals and groups respond to change and how to become more change adaptive.
