Change is one of the defining challenges of leadership. While resistance is a natural response, it intensifies when change is imposed in a top-down way that ignores employee concerns and habits. Leaders who succeed take a different approach: they begin with empathy, understand the psychology behind resistance, and guide transitions in ways that build trust and engagement.
Leading and Managing Change is a two-day, in-person course for aspiring leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs who want to strengthen their ability to guide people through transition. Led by an expert in change management, the course draws on Korn Ferry’s global research in leadership development and provides a structured foundation for anticipating challenges, addressing concerns, and sustaining momentum.
During the course, you will examine why employees hesitate to embrace new directions and learn evidence-based approaches for gaining support. You will broaden your leadership toolkit through peer collaboration, practise strategies for responding to resistance, and develop the adaptability needed to lead effectively in uncertain environments.

This course is designed for leaders and managers responsible for guiding teams through organisational transformation, restructuring, digital adoption, or cultural change. It is especially relevant for those who need to influence multiple stakeholders and lead people through uncertainty while maintaining performance.
You will learn how to lead change with both empathy and effectiveness. The course helps you understand why people respond differently to change, apply proven frameworks such as Kurt Lewin’s Forcefield Theory and Kotter’s 8-Step Model, and map key stakeholders to manage resistance and build alignment. You will also learn to communicate change clearly and persuasively, use influence strategies to gain support, and create lasting behavioural and cultural shifts through strong leadership and consistent role-modelling.
There are no formal prerequisites. This course is suitable for professionals leading teams, projects, or organisation-wide initiatives where managing change and engaging stakeholders are critical.
You will work through practical, real-world scenarios, including a transformation case study and group exercises that test your ability to plan, communicate, and gain buy-in for change. You will develop your own change plan, practise handling tough conversations, and design a stakeholder engagement strategy using frameworks such as Forcefield Analysis and the Nine Influence Strategies.
It is helpful to come prepared with a real change management challenge from your workplace. Throughout the course, you will review your current change approach and identify where you can put new learning into action. The course places strong emphasis on workplace application, supported by guided feedback from your facilitator.
This course focuses on the real-world skills needed to lead change successfully, balancing empathy with action, communication with structure, and pace with stability. You will leave ready to guide your teams through change with confidence, clarity, and a practical plan that keeps people engaged and performance strong throughout the transition.
