Change Can be FUN
In this episode of Business Problems Solved Lee discusses change and how you can implement change within your business in a fun impactful way. Change isn’t always the most welcomed thing with different people therefore It’s important to ensure you know your team members well enough to know how you could change their thinking on the change to turn it into a positive, fun thing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Improvement is about being fun, engaging and working with people to make today better than yesterday. It can be about increasing employee engagement. How many times have you heard people say ‘I don’t like change’? It’s no surprise if the change is not fun. No matter what type or the size of the change, some people will always go first and others will follow. Some will go all out whereas other will go half heartedly. So change is different for everyone. Leadership is about knowing your people and you should apply that to change; knowing how much change means to one of your team members. The four step model for change: Shock – Emotion - Learning – Forward Moving Challenge peoples thinking but do it in a fun creative way. A good way to do this can be by relating the change in work to a change outside of work. If you can create a simulation of change then that’s also a good way to make change fun. Introduce brain breaks which can help increase the level of engagement and energy again. Keep moving forward like water does.
