Lead change
Tired of change? Be the perfect pick-me-up.
Yet another change initiative is on the way and it’s up to you to rally the troops. They’ve seen it all before and are exhausted by the constant turmoil. To be honest, so are you.
When you’re not sure you even believe in the change yourself, how do you get other people excited about it? How do you appease their concerns without seeming artificially optimistic?
This Live action looks at what it means to lead through change and authentically deal with the responses of those who are rather attached to the status quo.
Example scenarios
You want to make a great impression in a new role by updating the team’s processes. First of all you’ll need to convince an old-timer who thinks if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. How do you get this influential character on board with the new way?
There’s been a change to the way your team works which means shorter turnaround times. One of your team members coped well to start with but two months down the line is starting to revert back to their old ways and miss deadlines. How can you get them back on track while you’re still unsure about the change yourself?
Budget cuts mean some teams are relocating. You need to tell a manager that they’ll lose some of their team members and will have to start managing remotely. What can you tell them to convince them the change is best in the long run?
