Are you a new Change Manager? Have you just been handed a big change project and don't know where to start?
Follow along for this 4 episode series on my expert advice to Change Managers just starting out and how to set yourself up for success
In this episode we talk about the important link between “talking the talk” and “walking the walk”. Change for the people doing the change requires a change in behavior. So how do we make this happen? Change in behavior is not achieved by talking about it, but rather by doing it.
Where talking and doing align, you’ll see amazing results!
Secondly, the critically important part of change is leadership demonstrating and acting vs. just talking. There is an important tipping point that happens with change adoption when leadership are seen doing the change and demonstrating it for the people they are leading. It also reinforces expectations for people in a visible way. Change champions play a role as well, in being visible supporters of the change by doing and demonstrating vs. just talking about it.
I talk about communications and what works well in our rapidly changing world. I also highlight the single biggest failure point for communication that people still mistakenly rely on.
