Managing Change & Transition
“Change is happening more frequently and at a faster rate than at any time
in history.” (Dr. Ben Bissell) It would be impossible for anyone to deny
this statement. How you and your employees respond to change can frequently
be the critical factor in survival.
- Do your leaders know the stages that people must go through in order
to become adept at handling change?
- Are your leaders good at handling ambiguity induced by significant
change?
- Do your leaders understand what drives the most frequent cause of
low morale? Do they know what to do about it?
- Do your leaders know how to handle the three different types of
Change discussions?
- When significant change comes about in your organization, are your
upper level leaders adept at managing communications required to ensure
these changes succeed?
By following some simple principles of managing the overall Change Process,
Spirk & Associates can assist your organization with the key elements of
the human side of change during significant events ( i.e., mergers, acquisitions,
restructurings, layoffs, new management, reassignments, new product introduction,
etc.). Preventive actions prior to execution of these events significantly
enhance the potential for successful outcomes.
