Leading Everyday - Leading during change

 



At one of my previous employers, we implemented new systems and processes after a year of anticipation. The journey began with training and then the exciting "go-live." While challenging, organizational change offers incredible growth and leadership development opportunities.

Having successfully navigated change before, I know the keys to success. Here's what's worked for me:

·       Be Engaged: Proactive engagement is vital. I delved into the training to grasp how the changes would impact my team and our operations. Leaders must ensure smooth transitions to protect customers, employees, and the business https://online.champlain.edu/blog/best-organizational-change-management-strategies].

·       Be Present: I was physically present throughout the implementation. My visibility reassured my team and signaled my full support: https://beehivepr.biz/7-strategies-to-effectively-managing-organizational-change/https://beehivepr.biz/7-strategies-to-effectively-managing-organizational-change/].

·       Challenge the Process: Leaders must advocate for improvements. I gave feedback on the initial training format, resulting in better hands-on sessions. Never settle for solutions that hinder your team: https://hbr.org/2008/07/choosing-strategies-for-change].

Beyond these, here are additional strategies from the experts:

·       Strong Communication: Explain the 'why' behind changes, and continuously update your teamhttps://beehivepr.biz/7-strategies-to-effectively-managing-organizational-change/https://beehivepr.biz/7-strategies-to-effectively-managing-organizational-change/https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/strategies-effective-change-management-craig-a-taylor].

·       Empathy and Support: Change is difficult. Provide resources and acknowledge the challenges your team faces: https://honehq.com/blog/leadership-training-in-change-management/]

·       Celebrate Wins: Recognize progress and milestones to build positive momentum: https://www.eaglesflight.com/resource/5-change-management-strategies-for-leaders/]
