Description

Change management was birthed in the late 1980s, cobbled together from the best psychology and insights we could muster.  Do its core ideas hold up in the mid-2020s? Based on the instructor's two change management bestsellers - The Science of Organizational Change, and Change Myths - this course will help  you see through the myths that cost you results.Rather than go through fifty myths of popular psychology and forty myths of organizational change, and tell you one-by-one what to think, I will give you a critical thinking tool to parse them for yourself.The two applications for critical thinking are Keto Diets and Astrology - we use the Paul Gibbons' LIAR model, from epistemology, to help us decide "yay" or "nay."The pop psychology myths that research has laid to waste are:Learning Styles MBTIChange curvesLeft-brain/ right-brainThe four most harmful myths of change management are:Create a Sense of Urgency (as taught at Harvard)70% of change fails (also as taught at Harvard)Resistance to change (as taught by nearly everybody)ADKAR (as taught by one of the biggest change management teachers and certifiers)By completing this course, you will not just know WHAT to discard but WHY!And, as a bonus, the critical thinking tool LIAR will help you make better calls as a parent, health-conscious individual, voter, and investor.
