Your Experience With Change Management • So it’s easy? ? • Does it work this way? • What gets in the way?
Barriers to Recognizing the Need for Change • Past successes • Existing culture • Current vision • Leadership practices • Embedded systems and processes The above can lead to active inertia, groupthink, and other impediments to critical judgment and action
Barriers to Successful Change • Thesis: • We have seen the enemy and the enemy is us! • In too many situations, our perceptions, attitudes and beliefs block us from successful organization change.
Five Ways We Limit Ourselves 1. Flawed analysis • Need to deal with both the How and What of change • Need both an “inside out” and “outside in” focus 2. Lack of self awareness - blind spots
Five Ways We Limit Ourselves 3. Failure to integrate head, heart and hand approaches to change • Head factors - the cognitive elements – persuasion of need for change based on logical arguments • Heart factors are affective elements – persuasion based on emotion to build buy-in and commitment • Hand factors are action elements – the engagement of people in change through their active involvement
Five Ways We Limit Ourselves 4. We assume that money is the tool of choice for motivating people • Money may work but it brings the body but not the soul. Better to create a powerful, compelling vision 5. We confuse ambivalence for resistance. We get defensive and we view resistance as "bad” • We assume those with different ideas are wrong • Ambivalence and Resistance contains information that we need to understand tap into.
