Congratulations, everybody! We’ve almost reached the end of 2021. Let’s take a minute to look back over the past twelve months and recognize how much we’ve learned,
This article is part of our Change & Transformation blog series. In the previous blog article we talked about what counter actions can be applied in case negative or possibly threatening change is faced by yourself to help you moving forward easier and smoother or to help others through their transition.
We learned that progress is impossible without change. During change transition is advised to show Empathy – to yourself and to everyone else who you support going through their change. Additionally you should know how to encourage reflection and enable problem solving instead of providing solutions straight away (even if you have good intentions).
In this article we want to focus on counter actions that can be applied to support positive change. And why is this important? Because people often also refuse to adapt to positive change, specifically if these changes are growth and personal development opportunities …
Although a positive change in our life, in our career or in our business usually is a great opportunity for growth and development, we as humans might be prone to sabotage our own aspirations and to belittle our capabilities and skills due to the fear of the unknown and the rise of self doubts – and eventually and in the worst case withdraw from a positive change and growth opportunity. Sounds abstract? Imagine a scenario where someone got promoted into a new role with leadership responsibilities for the first time. With this example in mind, let’s see what the coping process looks like and what possible counter actions can be applied to influence for positive outcome.
1. We start out with an UNINFORMED OPTIMISM shortly after the promotion is announced: So you congratulate!
2. Then UNINFORMED PESSIMISM starts creeping in (fear of unknown): Legitimize these feelings as there is a real danger of withdrawal!!
3. Once this obstacle is overcome, HOPEFUL REALISM kicks in: Acknowledge and continue to build confidence.
4. …and soon after INFORMED OPTIMISM is on the rise: Reiterate acknowledgement as “following through” is important.
5. … until the CHANGE IS MADE HAPPEN and transition in new role took place: Tap shoulders & reward!
“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything."
