The 4 Core Change Principles
In the second of Kotter’s four essential Science of Change courses, we’ll dive into our Core Change Principles and how they can be applied to a successful transformation effort.
There are 4 Core Change Principles:
1. Management + Leadership
2. Head + Heart
3. Have to + Want to
4. Select Few + Diverse Many
Through interactive activities and practical exercises, you’ll learn how to apply these principles to create an environment where others are more engaged and open to change.
Join Kotter and take the first steps along your learning journey into the Science of Change, beginning with our understanding of human nature and our response to threats and opportunities and the limitations of traditional organizational structures.
Based on 50 years of empirical research into the Science of Change and our latest insights from our firm’s consulting work, Kotter is making change leadership more accessible than ever before with four new courses introducing learners to our methodologies and tools for successful organizational transformations.
