Leaders who grasp current brain breakthroughs can also use these to launch and sustain mindful change…. Have you seen it done…? Organizational transformation … that includes the nature and habits of the brain … will help leaders to recognize why some people resist organizational changes and will identify other employees who will embrace and run with effective changes.
This does not imply that change is all science, and yet brain based practices can help both the art and science of organizational change. Here are some brain based tips I have learned that may help to make change work at your organization:
Recognize that change is lonely. Organizational change succeeds more when leaders accept that at times it will likely provoke mental discomfort that comes from feelings of being alone.
Doing it alone doesn’t work. Change efforts based on innovative thinking from many minds will be more likely to succeed in the long run.
Helping others is underrated. In theory, organizations may appear empathic to the wider community … but those who give generously to others as Robert Wegman gave… sufficiently engage people’s support and care back.
People are power. The act of respecting and listening to people creates chemical and physical changes in their brains and yours.
Change comes in small steady increments. People’s practices have a significant impact on the organizational vision and new neural pathways can be created for daily change in small increments.
Brain based insights into why change can be so difficult, can also become useful tools to get your organization past the difficulties into creative and innovative changes…. What do you think…?
