Managing Change.
Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there; they cause change. They motivate and inspire others to go in the right direction and they, along with everyone else, sacrifice to get there.” John Kotter
Effective leaders help others to understand the necessity of change and to accept a common vision of the desired outcome.” John Kotter
Key recognition that significant workplace change:
· should be ‘more than just a move’
· typically presents a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to affect a step change
· requires that you ‘prepare the people for the workplace’, as well as ‘ prepare the workplace for the people’
“It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones who are most responsive to change” - Charles Darwin
Change is essential for all businesses and organisations, those that adapt and manage that change successfully survive – those that don’t – don’t. |
