"Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are, for what you could become.”
That's what this poster says and it's a beautiful sentiment, just tough to pull off sometimes.
Facilitating Change for Your Team Members - Suggested Leadership Actions
Create a shared vision and stay focused on it
Set the right example–“Walk the Talk”
Provide information so that those involved understand the “reasons
why”
Engage in “positive politics” – understand and support the vision
Support and encourage those involved, recognizing that levels of
readiness for change may differ widely
Buffer those involved from disruptive forces
Involve others in developing and implementing a game plan
Stay personally involved but delegate where appropriate
Start where the system is, but
be willing to push on the system when it threatens to obstruct progress
Light many fires. Find
numerous ways of reinforcing the message and direction on an ongoing basis
Help people to experience success early on
Celebrate “small wins”
Persist, especially after a setback
TIPS for YOU in Surviving (and perhaps even thriving on)
High-Velocity Change
Embrace change as the source of opportunity rather than as a threat: Go with change
rather than against it.
Lighten the psychological load of change.
Be a player, not a spectator (or a victim).
Learn to both pick up your pace and slow it down.
Keep your heart in your work.
Lots of good suggestions, aren't they? Some are certainly harder to do (solid leadership), but extra effort in helping
team members cope (building strong relationships) with change is worth it!
Strong Relationships + Solid Leadership = Success for Everyone
