What Is Change Management?
What is Change Management? Let me explain what change management is and why I believe it is the number one skill school leaders and teachers aspiring to leadership must master to navigate an educational landscape that is constantly shifting under our feet. If you have spent any time on my website, social media, or videos, you have probably heard me say this before: education has not prepared us with the same caliber of change management training as other fields like healthcare, technology, human resources, or business. In those industries, managers know the term. Many organizations even have entire departments dedicated solely to the work of change management. In schools, we lead constant change but are rarely trained to understand it using the research and frameworks that explain how people and organizations actually respond to change.
