When Change Does Not Happen
When change does not happen at your business it's because you fail to communicate. Yes -that's a tough pill to swallow. But it is true. You fail to generate change because you fail to inspire people and influence them to change. You fail to address and remove the mindsets that cause people to resist change. And, you fail to connect in meaningful ways with the people at your business who could help you bring about the changes you desire.
In particular, you fail to help people be comfortable and feel they have a level of control.
Instead of feeling in control or at least having a feeling of partial control your people feel it is your change. Your people resist change because it is your change not their change.
This is a fact of life. Your people are not behaving badly. You do the same thing: you resist change when it is dumped or forced on you.
Egos, Communication, & Positive Changes
Egos thrive on control - egos work hard to maintain control.
Egos fear the unknown - egos work hard to minimize surprises.
Egos are the ultimate internal authority - egos resist the intrusions of external authorities.
Egos are supreme internal judges – egos rule harshly against external opinions.
Egos are part of the human condition…for the most part ignored and misunderstood…egos exert their control quickly – always protecting their owners and presenting their owners in the best light.
Understand the power of egos.
Take the time to communicate with egos.
When satisfied with your communication, egos will help you bring about the changes you desire.
