Abstract
Change is inevitable and organizational leaders face the ongoing challenge of managing change processes amid an ever-growing global marketplace. Thus, a corporate change process could be better achieved when all actors have increased levels of awareness on the imperative that self-transformation plays in the change implementation process. Hence, emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence, personal belief systems, trust dynamics, and conflict resolution perspectives and practices impact and influence the realization of an effective organizational change process.
Conversely, the Mind Redesign Workshop is designed to promote and foster increased levels of awareness for both leaders and followers on organizational change and the relationship of individual mental attitudes on the change dynamic. In addition, this workshop provides practical insights to foster the development of an expanded transformative mental framework regarding human perspectives on the change narrative to encourage a more collaborative, integrative approach for an organizational change initiative.
The Mind Redesign Workshop is a one-day interactive workshop for organizational leaders and followers from diverse corporate environments. In addition, a pre- and post-survey is administered to assess personal levels of awareness relative to the training materials and participants’ commitment toward applying practical insights gained from the workshop.
The research elements of this project focused on identifying and isolating leadership theories and scholarly literature that showcases the imperative of mental attitudes and behaviors toward organizational change processes and how mental frameworks promote or encumber corporate change strategies. Furthermore, the Mind Redesign Workshop aims to reduce the gap between theory and practical methods for leaders and followers in profit and nonprofit organizations to support and strengthen the pursuit of effective organizational change implementation by formulating an integrative learning space that allows the workshop participants to engage and dialogue at ever intercession of the workshop.
