Championing, Supporting, and Engaging Others in Change

Change can occur any time, and frankly, should be a regular occurrence in any organization. In fact, nearly every organization goes through change regularly - both internal (changes in processes and procedures, new products and services, a new market, etc.) and externally (new competition, changes in the industry, loss of customers, etc.) It is, however, common to believe that change only occurs when there are problems to be solved. Too often organizations tend to react to problems that occur, therefore causing the belief that change only occurs when there is a problem that needs to be solved. Change is, essentially, making something different. It does not have to be a major difference; it could be a small, incremental difference.

Leading Change Initiatives

Change is different now than in the past. Today, the pace, amount and complexity of change has increased due to competition and an increasingly global marketplace. Given the greater competition for new products and services to meet customer needs and the impact of the internet on businesses, organizations need to be quicker in responding to change and in launching change initiatives in order to keep ahead or abreast of the competition. To sustain change over the long term, it is essential that emotions are considered and dealt with - this only adds to the complexity of change initiatives. However, too often management staffs launch change initiatives erroneously believing that everyone in the organization understands the need for the change and is supportive of the change. That is rarely the case! The most successful change leaders share vision and long-term goals and help employees to see the value of change to the organization but, more importantly, for them as individuals.
