Lucinda discusses the upcoming book series "Six Minute Smarts," set to be published on November 5, 2024, by Practical Inspiration Publishing. The series aims to help individuals coach themselves in various business skills, including effective change management.
Drawing from the her previous work, Lucinda outlines a structured approach to understanding and implementing change over ten days, emphasising the importance of emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and effective communication
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Understanding and mastering one's own emotions is crucial for effective change management. Courage is also essential for challenging the status quo and confronting resistance.
Recognising the necessity of change and understanding the bigger picture helps in motivating others and gaining their support. Utilising frameworks like Richard Beckhard's change equation can aid in assessing the need for change.
Communicating change effectively requires both quantity and quality. Building a coalition of allies is important for successful change implementation, as no change agent can succeed alone.
Different personality types respond to change in various ways. Recognising these differences can help tailor communication and support to ensure that all team members are engaged and committed to the change process.
BEST MOMENTS
"The bottom line is, I know everybody's realising that change is constant, but reality is that organisations still don't know how to manage it effectively."
"To be a change superhero, we need to have courage to stand up and be counted. It may mean challenging the status quo."
"Communication is not just quantity but quality. We need to make sure we are congruent with the way we communicate."
"It's about helping people really clearly see that vision and also breaking it down into manageable steps."
