Most people involved in organizational change experience a kaleidoscope of emotions. Regardless of the reason behind the change, feelings of anger, resentment, anxiety, resistance, sadness and excitement are common at different points in the change process. Feelings of fear often run rampant.
What makes organizational change so scary for so many people? What are they afraid of? Some may worry about being seen as incompetent to carry out new tasks, or worse yet, actually being unable to handle it. These anxieties all stem from a nearly universal fear of the unknown and, for many, turn the change process into a seemingly endless and frightening roller coaster ride.
Many companies fail to successfully implement change because they ignored some of the critical requirements in managing it.
When effecting changes in the organization, managers are dealing with people with mindsets and comfort zones that were built overtime. People tend to resist change because they do not want to step out of these comfort zones–they like to stay in an environment they are comfortable with. There are a number of things that need to be taken in to mind to help people accept and overcome the pain of change. To help our client, DSWD, we developed a course that aims to equip change managers with the knowledge, skills and right mindset in managing change. They learned to identify the need for change, and strategize their way to successful change implementation.
The workshop was facilitated by one of ExeQserve’s training consultants, Ms. Len Ebreo.
It was attended by 10 leaders from DSWD and was conducted last October 18, 2018.
We applied various proven concepts and frameworks of change management including:
- Who moved my cheese by Spencer Johnson
- Unfreeze, Change, Refreeze by Kurt Lewin
- The 8-Step model in Leading Change by John P. Kotter
“The rate of change is not going to slow down anytime soon. If anything, competition in most industries will probably speed up, even more in the next few decades”
