How do you sustain productivity and harmony through changing times?
Managers can lead far more effectively when equipped with tools and techniques that help them manage emotional reactions in others as well as themselves.
The ability to manage change is now viewed by many organisations as a core competence. The key is in helping people move through the change transition.
Professor John Kotter (Harvard Business School), a dominant figure in the world of leadership and managing change, has recently uncovered interesting research about organisations in the midst of large-scale change. Whilst many believe change happens by making people think differently, Kotter says the key lies more in making them feel differently:
"The heart of change is in our emotions. The flow of see-feel-change is more powerful than analysis-think-change. If we are to help the person through change then we need to communicate and connect with them. To do this we need to see how they see the world and what meaning they attribute to things".
To help facilitate a successful change programme, The Acumen Company will start by ensuring all relevant parts of your organisation and stakeholders are commited. We see this as an essential step before developing and implementing solutions and programmes with the aim of winning hearts and minds, and generating a sustainable environment to support your change programme.
