Fit For Change

We all know the feeling, when a change is needed in an organization or team, but it can be a very hard sell. It is especially difficult when it requires getting a group of people rowing in the same direction and feeling confident and excited about it. Often that challenge of change is that if flows against the current of conflicting agendas or just the innate comfort of what has been familiar.  

One powerful technique that can help generate much-needed alignment is to tell the shared story of the group and how this new change fits with the overall growth and positive direction of everyone.

When it’s time to communicate and promote what’s next, be sure to pull in the story of what came before. Creating that connectivity helps to put individuals into the story that they are a part of as opposed to feeling left behind or run over. Showing people where they fit and are valued is like magic.
