Change Is Here To Stay Thoughts From A Change Agent
Change Is Here To Stay Thoughts From A Change Agent
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group™
"The trouble with the future is that it usually arrives before we're ready for it." Arnold H. Glasow
Whenever someone refers to me as a "Change Agent," I accept it as a real compliment because that is a very accurate description of what I am. Since change is here to stay, I wanted to share some thoughts about change and some strategies on dealing with change.
Change in the workplace and in our lives is inevitable. The way most people deal with change can vary from trying to ignore it; getting angry; wishful thinking and/or running away. A very positive way to deal with change is to look at change as a spawning ground for new opportunities for the business or organization.
A major challenge is to help employees and the management team adapt to change and to change their attitudes about change. In looking for a "Top 10" list on this subject I found such a top 10 list entitled: "The Top 10 Strategies for Changing Attitudes" by Mike R. Jay, Happeneur, Executive Coach, Writer & Student. He can be reached at change10@leadwise.com. His top 10 strategies are:
Release people from prior commitment.
Provide new information.
Use fear positively.
Resolve cognitive dissonance.
Gather influence from friends, peers and family.
Co-opt.
Have compassion.
Seek first to understand.
Have acceptance.
Dialog.
Please go to http://topten.org/public/AC/AC79.html to read the details of the strategies and the full article by Mike R. Jay. You may also visit his website at http://www.leadwise.com
Are you facing an upcoming change in your organization? Do you believe you are prepared to deal with the change? Do you believe you could benefit from some advice from an independent third party? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please contact Glenn Ebersole at jgecoach@aol.com so we can discuss how I can help provide guidance for the changes you are facing.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
