Perspectives: Leading at Light Speed
How to Survive the New Pace of Business
Change is part of organizational growth, but that doesn’t mean that it comes easily. This outlines steps that are fundamental to preparing for, executing and sustaining a successful organizational change initiative including a change in leadership, culture, company direction or structure.
While it’s not uncommon for conflicts to arise from misalignment and misunderstanding during times of change, taking the time to understand the motivating needs that are driving certain behaviors will equip you to diffuse any situations that arise with relative ease.
Organizations that acknowledge and properly manage the people part of change – whether that change emanates from the corner office down to the mailroom – are more likely to increase their odds for long-term success. We’ll explore key questions to consider at each step along the way to gauge progress and ensure that the change sticks—all when the world of business is moving at light speed.
