  • Change is not episodic, it is continuous

  • The initial emotional response can get in the way of what the organization is trying to do - so knowing how to manage that is critical to lead successful change.
  • Resistance in organizational change is often because we don't engage our team, and they feel the change is imposed on them.
  • We are hard wired to think change is a threat, so our natural instinct is to push back
  • Managers and leaders need to 'earn the right' to lead the change by showing that they are capable of change in themselves. They can do that by being open to feedback and listening to others and leading by example.

        Reasons
        Implications
        Values

  • The importance of choosing your language before you communicate to change
