“What we’ve got here is a failure
to communicate.” This famous line from the 1967 movie “Cool Hand Luke”,
starring Paul Newman, appropriately portrays the unfortunate point that often,
despite their best efforts, people are ineffective in communication. While communication about almost anything is
always important, it may never be more critical than when it comes to
communicating change.
Not many days go by
without organizations making some change. Big changes, like reorganization,
tend to get our attention because of their sweeping impact on so many people.
However regular tweaks to either process or procedure are a common part of
revamping and reorganizing workplace tasks, goals and initiatives.
Perhaps more important
than the actual procedural and process changes is the ability to communicate
the changes to all employees. Communicating changes effectively will help keep everyone
on the same page while meeting evolving company goals and initiatives.
There is a new report
in imapMyTeam that will help you create a strategy to effectively communicate
the change to anyone on your team. Remember, we all have different filters when
hearing about a change and this new report helps you anticipate the best way to
position change for each person. No
more failure to communicate!
