Leading a Change Resilient Company
One of my CEO leadership coaching clients needs to create a fierce sense of urgency in his people to embrace unending change. I am working with the company leadership team to transform the culture of the company to become more change resilient and innovative.
The CEO knows that sustainable growth will only occur when employees embrace change and are fully engaged in executing the company strategy. He is empowering his leadership team to problem solve in generating innovative solutions. Leadership team members are collaborating with him in decision-making. Our current coaching work focuses on helping the CEO inspire his employees to overcome complacency and develop a burning sense of urgency.
Continuous Change
We live in an age when change is accelerating. Over the next five or 10 years, it will probably increase even more, with huge consequences for nearly everyone. Change is no longer cyclical or episodic, but is becoming continuous.
External change must be seen and recognized so it can be acted upon. With an insufficient sense of urgency, people tend to avoid looking hard enough. When they do look, they don’t see, believe their eyes or recognize the need to change.
External change demands internal change. Processes must become more efficient. New work methods and products must be created. Organizations need to be reorganized to focus more on customers or growth.
When there’s complacency or false urgency, none of these changes can happen fast enough, smart enough or efficiently enough.
If U.S. companies are going to maintain their leadership status and economic power, the people who work for them must learn to become more responsive and adaptable to change.
Are you working in a company or law firm where company leaders and employees realize the organization needs to develop a true sense of urgency to ensure business success? Does your company or law firm provide leadership coaching and leadership development to help leaders at all levels overcome complacency and fully engage in the company change initiatives? Company leaders need to create a powerful sense of urgency to help all employees become more change resilient.
One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is “How do company leaders help employees become more change resilient?” Emotionally intelligent and socially intelligent organizations provide executive coaching and leadership development for leaders who lead change and culture transformation initiatives.
Working with a seasoned executive coach and leadership consultant trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i CPI 260 and Denison Culture Survey can help you create an organization that engages its people in transformational change efforts by overcoming complacency and creating a culture that embraces continuous change. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become fully engaged with the vision and mission of your company or law firm.
