Debunking Change Management - Part 2
The intent of change management is to produce better outcomes, which means change management is also simultaneously results management.
If you haven't read Part 1 of this series, I encourage you to do so.
As we continue to debunk change management, here are two key points from Part 1:
- Individual and group coaching is essential for successful change management.
- At the heart of change management is changing behaviors... and I'll add... changing - even slightly shifting - all that precedes behavior change - thinking, feelings, and decisions.
When we look at all that is asked of leaders and managers these days such as change management, talent management, and results management, I like to offer an encouraging thought. Change management is in fact many other managements.
When done strategically, it is also talent management and results management. And therein lies the beauty and tremendous benefit of becoming a skilled strategic leader and coach.
If change is for the good - that is, gets an improved result - it's probably simultaneously cultivating a skill within the "human resources" of your team. Additionally, the intent of change management is to produce better outcomes, which means change management is also simultaneously results management.
This is super encouraging that the thought of "change management' which can seem so daunting, can also be seen so simply while having such a meaningful, important effect.
So, thoughtful strategic planning and execution via skilled coaching is truly effective leadership & management. In distinct leader terms, we call that "the complete leader".
