Change is a constant and it is inevitable. It will always involve risk and there will be people who fear the unknown. It is your job as a manager to encourage your employees to be courageous in moving forward regardless of fear because the reality is that the future is always unknown. That’s why it is key that you instill hope in times of great change. It is also just as important that when employees who approach you with a new idea, you see it as a learning moment and that you sit down with them and have a discussion, rather than simply shutting them down. Finally, accept the fact that you will never gain 100% buy in from your team or the company. Accept that big change brings about a sense of loss, acknowledge that there will be questions you cannot answer and be willing to discuss fears and concerns publicly. In this week’s episode of “Managing to Make a Difference,” Larry and Kim discuss the best ways to navigate change in your organization and how best to drive innovation.
