Surviving Change The Stress It Creates
Surviving Change The Stress It Creates
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group™
Change is the status quo. Change is everywhere. And so is stress! Some have called stress the invisible epidemic. The truth is that stress is spreading rapidly and just about everybody is feeling the effect.
Acting as a change agent, I get to witness stress quite often. I see what today’s stress is like and imagine what the future will hold and what stress it has the potential to produce. Tomorrow will no doubt give us a more complex world with a faster rate of change. Therefore, it is imperative that we learn how to handle life better and improve upon how we adapt to change and the way we handle it.
Many of my clients ask about what drives change and what are the basic mistakes that are made that create major job stress and how can we cope with an even faster rate of change? And all these questions require solid answers and advice. And I seek counsel from others to get the best advice I can for my clients. So as I researched for a resource to provide that counsel, I was very fortunate to find the answers to my clients’ questions in a handbook entitled, “A Survival Guide to The Stress of Organizational Change” by Price Pritchett and Ron Pound. These authors have more than 20 years of consulting experience with organizations going through major change.
In the handbook, they talk about 3 key drivers to change: people; technology and information. They also present 15 basic mistakes that create major job stress and they also provide a “Survival Guide” for each basic mistake.
Those 15 basic mistakes include:
Expect somebody else to reduce your stress
Decide not to change
Act like a victim
Try to play a new game by the old rules
Shoot for a low-stress work setting
Try to control the uncontrollable
Choose your own pace of change
Fail to abandon the expendable
Slow down
Be afraid of the future
Pick the wrong battles
Psychologically unplug from your job
Avoid new assignments
Try to eliminate uncertainty and instability
Assume “caring management” should keep you comfortable
To find out the survival guide tips for each of these mistakes, I recommend you get this handbook and read it carefully. It can be ordered online at www.pritchettnet.com
AND to find out even more about how you can learn to manage change in your company or organization, please contact Glenn Ebersole at jgecoach@aol.com today!

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 |
