What is needed to make a transformation in your organization? What’s the difference between working with individuals and groups when trying to make a successful change? What is easy to forget when working with organizations and change?
Join Reshma Ramachandran and I as we discuss transformation - what is hard about it, how it changes from individual to a group and what are the key ingredients to make it successful.
Key Points from this Episode:
- Human beings naturally do not like change.
- Change requires us to get out of our comfort zone.
- Every change makes you a better person.
- Organizations are not inanimate objects. Organizations are like humans- they have emotions, egos, ambitions and desires.
- You don’t try to change individuals; you create change agents.
- When making change, it is most important for the leader to change first. Walk the talk from the top down.
- Build trust by giving trust
- Speed is never at the cost of trust.
- There is no finishing line for transformation.
- Change has to become part of the DNA of the company.
- Change cannot be at the cost of the team.
- Challenge your thoughts and bring out your biases, then put the facts next to your biases.
- Life is what you make of it. We all have choices but we must be willing to accept the consequences of the choice. Change the narrative - can I accept this consequence?
