Whether you're a student or a professional, you've had to cope with constant change over the course of your career, and you've learned at least one thing: More change is inevitable.
Here are some guidelines to become more effective at change management.
1) Evaluate
Before the proposed change is implemented, carefully evaluate both the opportunities and potential risks from the change. Careful planning can anticipate and avoid possible surprises.
2) Coordinate
Because too much change at once can be overwhelming for anyone involved, coordinate efforts with all the other stakeholders, making sure to include anyone who will be affected in the planning as well as the implementation of the change.
3) Commit resources
Plan to commit enough time and preparation for everyone who may need to take on new responsibilities as part of any change initiative.
4) Get all on board
Ensure that all are fully committed to the change. Consider how it will affect them by taking their point of view. Ask questions and make sure everyone is involved in the process to ensure success.
5) Be others-focused
Try to see things from the point of view of others. Focus on the opportunities for individual growth that change can bring, and help everyone look to the future.
6) Enhance trust
