If you think managing change has been challenging up to now, experts say today's unprecedented generational mix could slow change recovery down to a lethargic shuffle. 

During change, you need teams to be running marathons for you, not dragging their feet in resistance. For the first time in organizational history, you need to inspire and motivate teams that include FOUR  different generations.

And each generation has their own Quit-&-Leave + Quit-&-Stay triggers.

Cross-Generational Teams

As the saying goes, you can't lead if no one wants to follow.  During change, you need to communicate bad news, persuade teams to follow you into uncharted territory, provide a clear sense of direction when goals are fuzzy, build a compelling case for your change initiative, and be a good role model through it all. You need out-of-the-box communication skills to pull this off.  Effective two-way communication has been proven over and over to be the #1 driver of successful change efforts.

Influence Skills

Responding to today's rapidly changing marketplace and technologies requires a new kind of leadership approach. You most likely need to get more done, faster, smarter, and with fewer resources. With people who are confused, grumpy or downright defiant.  When productivity is getting hammered from all sides, you still need to deliver results.  Out-of-the-box  thinking will protect both you and your team, and your bottom line.

Creativity Skills

Over half of all major change initiatives either fall short of expectations, or fail altogether.  In the book First, Break All the Rules:  What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently, author Marcus Buckingham says "Most companies aren’t even playing the right game .... they treat every one of their people the same. They play checkers with them.  The best managers play chess with their people, knowing that every person is different.”   Whether it's Quit-&-Leave or Quit-&-Stay™ ... this is no time to lose key talent. More than ever, "one size fits one" coaching is critical to rebuilding morale and keeping your teams focused on the business. 

Coaching Skills

Studies have demonstrated that personal coaching produced ROI of over 520%, plus offered significant intangible benefits to the business.

Stakes are too high today to leave change to chance.  Even world-class Olympic athletes won't get out on the playing field without a coach.  Why should you?
