SEI Leading Through Change (SEI LTC)

The value of the tool:

As stress and complexity rise, people are more overwhelmed, more anxious. It means they are less open, less creative, less innovative around challenges, less risk taking, and more in struggle.

Which means they need an expert solution even more.

According to global statistics on change, the majority of organizational change fails. So why is that?

The secret to successful change lies in the understanding that change happens at an individual level. It is an emotional experience, not a logical, rational one. People either resist or engage with the process depending on how they feel, and how Change Ready they are - emotions drive people!

For the first time in an EQ leadership assessment, the SEI LTC measures an individual’s Change Readiness – their capacity to navigate and lead well through uncertainty. This is invaluable in the design and facilitation of successful change initiatives.

What is this ideally used for? (focused on problem solving):

empower and motivate people to embrace change
understand the true value of taking people on the change journey with you
inspire change leadership
become an AGILE change leader able to thrive in the digital age
grow your ability to influence others and make more effective decisions
design and create more effective change projects
lead organizational transformations with a deep understanding of the people side
enhance your credibility as a change professional

Special Features:

A new Success Factor, called Change Readiness
Growing leadership capability through integrating the 8 EQ competencies with the Change MAP
Splitting of components of the Success Factors of Effectiveness, Relationships, Quality of Life and Wellbeing (as seen in the data sheet)
An AGILE leadership framework to help people slow down and prepare for change
Several Development aspects – and space to write and capture Reflections

Tips for marketing and sales:

Change Readiness is a critical measure and a key predictor of success.

Having awareness of each individual’s capacity to handle uncertainty will shift focus and enable targeted and measurable interventions with individuals and teams to facilitate successful change.

The face of leadership has changed. Looking to the future, we need courageous, brave leaders who are able to create emotionally safe environments where people can feel more comfortable with uncertainty and risk.

The SEI LTC is an emotional intelligence report for our times. It is a powerful solution to give leaders the skills they need to grow their own EQ, and also foster greater agility, creativity and innovation in their teams.
