If the culture of the company is Failure Is Unacceptable and people that fail will be punished…It is nearly impossible for people to change to a new way of doing things. Every time a change is expected, temporary incompetence happens.
If you are asked to learn a new skill. The fear that your peers may see you as temporarily incompetent causes you to reject the change outright.
To complete work the employee must have the appropriate resources. This does not mean that a manager needs to supply all the resources that employees desire, but it does mean that the manager should supply employees with sufficient resources. Resources can include materials, consultants, training, staff, etc.; without the proper resources frustration will occur and this frustration leads to disengaged employees.
Your organization and work are changing around you, whether you want it to or not.
Having an understanding of how this change takes place, the steps that people go through and the systems-that-drive the negative and positive behaviors to this change are requisite to this change lasting or fading away.
We Changed Things Again. Now the team is Freaking out! Managers spend months meeting and talking about a change, then drop it on staff expecting them to “get it” within 2 days. Then wonder why the change does not happen.
All of us and our companies are in constant change, and we know this. Different people need different levels of information and motivation for the change to happen. As a manager YOU NEED the wisdom and ability to manage the process and add value to peoples decisions and work.
Planning is toted as one of the most important things that Teams and Managers do and I still see many people who really suck at it! Why?
Because they are poorly constructed and STOP at Goal Setting.
Leading team building & leadership programs the vision of how the process fits into the plan and goals of your group is a challenge. Here are some questions that serve you in facilitating the group to determine that Vision.
The planning process starts when an individual is assigned a task, either by themself, by their manager, or on request from some other authorized person. That individual must then construct and traverse a pathway which is sufficient to achieve the goal.
In the Planning A Change Workshop organizations, teams, leaders, and people create action lists, action triggers, and determine a solutions focused approach to change for the better.
