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?
