He expected the productivity and motivation of his teams to suffer as soon as the first rumors leaked out. He decided to strengthen the resilience of his coworkers and raise their change readiness before talked to them about the reorganization. This would enable them to maintain a high-quality customer service during the re-organization and thus keep jobs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1590735478184{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”APPROACH” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35px|text_align:left|color:%2394c01f|line_height:40px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]We invited the manager to first participate separately in a greytogreen workshop, to give him a fuller understanding of the process and potential outcomes, before he enrolled his team.<\/p>\n

He then organized greytogreen workshops with his teams, followed by a meeting where he shared what he knew about the upcoming change.
\nEach team member was able to examine and express their own insecurities with regards to the planned changes in a constructive way and in a safe, non-challenging environment.<\/p>\n

A few weeks after the workshop, the manager formally informed his team of the changes lying ahead and discussed the situation with them using their common greytogreen vocabulary and process. Under his leadership, they confronted the reorganization together.

They realized that they had a choice in how to view the planned changes and that they could influence their own reality. Having gotten to know each other on a deeper level, the entire team was able to adopt a \u201cyes we can\u201d attitude, and to support each other when a situation became more challenging.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1590735478184{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”TAKE AWAY” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35px|text_align:left|color:%2394c01f|line_height:40px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]When individuals discover their capacity to change their own perception and thus their own attitude, they can deal with change effectively, both in their professional and personal life.<\/p>\n
