Embracing Change

As a leader, a primary responsibility is to plan and facilitate change initiatives that get the intended results.

You want to be proud of being part of an organization that is committed to - and capable of - continually innovating, evolving, responding, improving, and growing.

Each change successfully navigated helps you to be more adaptable when future ones arise and allows you to be armed with more confidence . . . so that you can shift from anxiety to excitement . . . as you face each change ahead - together.

Embracing New Ideas

• This means that everyone is encouraged and expected to give changes an honest try and that new ideas or processes aren’t dismissed just because they’re new.

While it is true that some people adopt changes before others, when people strive more often to be in the group that is willing to go first, this makes them available to lend a helpful hand to coworkers who may be struggling with the change. Often it is the members of the improvement teams that are championing the changes that are willing to “go first,” yet, another group of employees will also be “early adopters” of certain changes. That is a large enough group to create momentum for the change.?

It is unhelpful to actively fight change or encourage dissent or negativity among peers. Instead, encourage people to ask questions to seek understanding about the change and turn around naysaying thoughts.

• As new ideas are being embraced, encourage people to speak up with constructive and helpful feedback on how the changes are going. Not all changes are designed or implemented perfectly right from the start which is why feedback about what’s working and what’s not is a necessary part of the change process. Proactively, people can also be encouraged to provide input or ideas for needed or upcoming changes as well.
