Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Some changes clearly create progress at work … but other innovations create sheer chaos for employees. Have you seen it?

Here are 5 reasons change could be failing you and ultimately working against your firm:

1. Poor communication. People who create change fail to communicate what they expect or hear  from others in the change process.
2. Details missing. When change agents fail to sketch or project the colors, shapes, and sizes, that show visual exemplars of the changes they implement, workers rarely catch the vision.
3. Lacks openness. Leaders who fail to engage others ... remain open ... or consider opposing views ... often create more flame wars than effective changes.
4. Mistake cover-ups. When the purpose of change is to cover leadership mistakes ... and when errors are not articulated to workers – change tends to be resisted in response.
5. Untackled obstacles. Innovation rarely works … when obstacles are not tackled head on – with a mindset for mutual benefits - through collaborated efforts.

Unless changes come from a place of transparency from the firm and from personnel … creations tend to  root themselves in contentions … more than growth opportunities.
