“Bad” changes – a silver lining
During difficult financial times, organizations are changing. Often, this means that people lose their jobs. This type of change has more of an effect that just about anything else that happens in the workplace.
Sometimes, people use this change in their own circumstances to reappraise their life. Of course, this isn’t easy. But it is possible to end up with a positive outcome – people can set up their own businesses, sometimes even find a better job, or do some retraining. We must force ourselves to look for the silver lining.
Organizational Change Management and Individuals
Interesting article here in the Financial Times about how individuals work through changes in their lives. According to Prof. Herminia Ibarra, people who are seeking to reinvent themselves should not spend too much time in analysis:
“The key message is to ditch reflection and self-analysis in favour of action. Different facets of our personality mean we have a number of “possible selves”, but Prof Ibarra argues that successful change stems from testing these possibilities, in small steps, meeting new contacts who can guide a transition, and following opportunities as they appear.”
This advice is helpful for people who are facing change in their organization and are wondering how to cope with it.
