\"50-ways-to-motivate-yourself\"<\/a>Often we are told what to do during a change event. When we use a \u201ctell\u201d approach, however, communication is unlikely to be open and effective.<\/p>\n


\nIn order to get engagement from all parties involved, it is imperative to fully involve key stakeholders. Be sure to share information early and fully; explain the importance of change and ask for suggestions and possible solutions. Change needs shared ownership and \u2018buy-in\u2019 from those involved at all levels. Trying to drive change from the center without involving those on the front line can result in resentment, lack of trust, and even sabotage.
\nSabotage might simply involve trashing an idea or plan, but it is useful to remember that sabotage doesn\u2019t always mean acts of commission \u2013 it can just as easily involve acts of omission. Not sharing vital information, not pointing out potential pitfalls, not living the change can all impair change efforts.
\nWhen managing change, we must clearly communicate why change is needed, and involve those required to deliver the change in devising a clear vision and strategy for making the change. It is important to listen to local views and knowledge and to empower people to make the changes.
\nTypically, there are four change strategies used to drive change:
\n\u2022 Tell: \u201cThis is what I have decided will happen\u201d
\n\u2022 Sell: \u201cThis is what I\u2019ve decided will happen\u201d and why
\n\u2022 Persuade: \u201cGive me some alternatives\u201d
\n\u2022 Engage: \u201cWhat do we think?\u201d
\nStudies suggest that the majority of change efforts are driven with a Sell approach. Yet, it does not hold a strong record for success. According to Professor Nutt of Ohio State University, the most successful strategy is Engage \u2013 ironically, the least commonly used approach.
\nTo make change stick, you must affect both the mind and the heart. You need to gain emotional attachment to your change goal. When folks are emotionally attached to the goal they have ceaseless energy to pursue it, not matter how tough it gets. Use more than just financial reports and data driven presentations to get folks on board — Make your communications so compelling, motivating, inspiring and necessary your stakeholders will move heaven and earth to make it happen.<\/p>\n
