Lee goes back to basics and discusses some of the common pitfalls of business change. You may recognise some of these problems in your own change team and systems as many people have before. Listen in and see if you can avoid these problems before they occur.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Immediate success and instant change is rare to impossible. Change is a process and a journey. 
• Communicate clearly to achieve change. Be sure your message has been received.
• Involve the people who are in the process to develop the change. It is more likely to be successful with buy-in from the initiators. 
• Be flexible. Be ready for fluid change when encountering problems in a plan.  
• Take care of your people. Involvement in change decreases the fear of it. 
• Celebrate success. Recognise things that are going right, nor just things that go wrong. 

BEST MOMENTS

“There is no moment when a monkey learns to ride a skateboard. It’s a process.”

‘Just consider are you involving enough people? And how are you involved with those people?’ 

‘Leading change can be stressful and it’s really important to take care of your team or the people and peers that you’re working with during this process.’
