The only constant in today’s workplace is change, and much of what’s required to evolve means new tools and technology, as well as adopting the mindset of a disruptor. All change is hard – that’s human nature – and it rarely sticks. But leaders have a unique responsibility to help their people embrace it. Successful change means breaking free from traditional employee communication and engagement approaches. It means breaking free from the one viewpoint you’re comfortable with and getting used to thinking about things holistically. Businesses need to think like customers – and leaders need to consider things from the frontline perspective. The time for changing our behaviors, and our mindsets, is here. Leaders must tell their people a story, paint them a picture that shows where the company is headed and how each person helps make that happen.
