Employees in a non-profit organization were reeling from recent changes. Management asked for a series of workshops to provide skills to cope with the chaotic times. Internally, they were disoriented which produced thoughts of “where do I stand….who can I trust…what do we do….what will happen….” all of which stood in the way of productivity.
Individuals needed to see that problems weren’t going to be improved by change management theory. You don’t focus on change as a manageable force; you deal with change by developing more self-resilience. The workshop addressed:
- The change curve model (and its inevitable phases)
- What’s required to move through the phases of the change curve
- Management’s “unattainable goal”
- Where people positioned themselves and others relative to a recent change
- What’s next?
