3 tips to help you get your team involved in the “change”

The transformation that is provided from new industrial platforms, geopolitics changes, global competition and changes in consumption habits are head news, because, they change the script prices, test leadership´s courage and skills as well as they create new business models who have the capacity to change a whole business sector. However, we rarely talk about the people who have to live during this violent process. Clearly, a company cannot change if their employees aren´t involved and pledged with the change. The human and personal dimension is extremely important. But many times, it is forgotten, or it is not recognized in the restlessness to restructure or provide new initiatives Answer and listen with new perspectives  When the leaders listen, show curiosity and are a source of inspiration to their teams, they incite their employees to express themselves. Dan Cable, organizational behavior professor in London Business School, call it “Emotional projection”. This kind of approach emphasize that is vital the workers have space to test, in a way they could be better. By the way, Cable refers that “it´s necessary give enough space for the employees can learn instead of creating processes to follow them as robots”. Identify the influencers It´s essential that leaders could be visible in the company and capable to identify and know who the enablers and the changing agents in the transformation can be. These influencers don’t need be linked to general direction, they just need to have a great emotional intuition or have a social connecting facility and have powerful influence on others. Promote the personal involvement Inevitably on their organization there will be skepticism, emotional fatigue and even a great resistance to change that you think extremely necessary. The best way to avoid these reactions it´s ensure that the employees are tailored about the change. Try to talk with the employees about him selves, and not of the business or the challenges. Show empathy take us further.
