The Challenges of Change
There’s no question that transformation can be disruptive and cause more work for everyone – at least in the short-term.
Whilst change can be a challenging journey, with many obstacles to overcome along the way, it also brings inspiration and excitement, fulfilment and reward.
By understanding what to expect and the common pitfalls to avoid, you’ll be better prepared for what lies ahead!
These common sense, but key, lessons might provide some food for thought.
Help your people be ‘change ready’
- Accept that almost everyone resists change to some degree.
- Listen to employees concerns and fears.
- Be open and clear in your communication about the reasons for change.
- Ensure your leadership team is fully aligned about Why and How.
- Be sure that Managers are willing to roll their sleeves up and role model the change.
By taking these points into consideration, you’ll help to reduce uncertainty, foster inclusion and minimise many of the typical frustrations associated with a change journey.
