Using the ten most common mistakes as an assessment of your organization's current reality in leading change is a powerful way to identify the costliest of the mistakes. Only then can leaders and internal change support resources look at how the mistakes come to happen and options for how to reduce their negative impact or avoid them completely. This episode takes each mistake and outlines several actions you might take to reduce or mitigate them. Leaders becoming aware of the mistakes and your organization's rating against them can serve as a springboard to remedying them and up-leveling how your organization leads change and produces desired results.Hosted by Ausha.

Most Change Management practitioners rightly focus a lot of energy and attention on managing their stakeholders to overcome resistance and adopt the future state. While helpful, this does not guarantee generating the amount of momentum required for a project to achieve its desired outcomes.

By identifying and managing a project's supporters, fence-sitters and resistors each in special ways, momentum can be generated and sustained.

Most organizational change efforts rely on the tried-and-true approaches of Project Management and Change Management.

This episode outlines the distinctions of transformational change and how you can lead and consult to it so it is launched, designed, implemented and adopted for sustained results.

Leaders have a critical choice to make when initiating change. How they frame and communicate the change impacts how it's received and embraced by the organization. Understanding the motivation behind change - whether it's a wake-up call, a threat, a vision of something different, or an inspiration - is paramount. Our episode begins with a thought-provoking question from Charles, a seasoned change management consultant. Charles is grappling with a challenging scenario where leaders have framed a crucial change in negative, threatening terms. The fear and uncertainty this has generated are casting a long shadow over the change process. Rumors are rife, fear and anxiety fuel decision-making and communications, and progress seems to have stalled. So, how can we navigate this situation? What strategies can we employ to shift the narrative from fear to possibility? These questions are at the heart of today's discussion. We'll explore the human dynamics when change is announced in compelling and positive terms versus negative terms. We'll discuss strategies for how to turn things around if the initial launch message is threatening and delve into the rationale for leaders consciously focusing on what is possible to co-create when the outcome is successful.

Most leaders are rightfully focused on getting the best content solution designed and implemented to satisfy a need in the organization. However, this focus requires additional attention on how the stakeholders will be impacted and engaged, and how the change process is designed to ensure the best solution is generated, implemented, adopted and sustained. Many change consultants are not positioned to directly Influence leaders to expand their attention to strategic People and Process dynamics when leading initiatives. This podcast describes the types of attention needed and ways to reach these leaders so they begin to appreciate and take on influencing how people are affected and the change process is designed. Come learn how to get the attention of leaders to go beyond the content solution to set up their initiatives and stakeholders for success so they achieve sustained business benefits.

Every change effort requires a reliable plan to make happen. However, some types of change are well led with pre-determined plans and others, like transformational efforts, are not. Why? So much is emergent in transformation that change leaders and the team need to be supported to figure things out as the project proceeds. Changes in direction or process are inevitable and cannot be seen as mistakes if they provide critical information about what is really needed to succeed. This is a specific condition for success in transformation: establishing a strategic learning and course correction system that can be publicly supported and encouraged. This is a significant paradigm shift for leaders, project managers and typical project teams. Only with timely input and response to indicators for course corrections can a transformational effort stay on its course and come to fruition. This episode explores the power and necessity for creating an agile course correction system and process for your change efforts.

Today's topic surfaces several important issues about how we as consultants and coaches can best support the people tasked with making change. It is critical to consciously shape our role and style so that we meet the needs of our clients in the best way possible. Too often, consultants and coaches have been trained in a specific approach that becomes “one size fits all.” In the context of major change, that doesn't always work! It is our job to help our clients see what they don't see, in ways that support them to be successful. Come hear about the various choices we have about our roles and--our styles of executing them--so that we can best meet the needs of our change clients, be they leaders, project managers or change project teams. Come learn a powerful technique for doing so. Expanding your ability to see what is needed, adjust your approach and provide invaluable guidance can produce a breakthrough for you!
