My clients tell me that before they are able to process change, something else happens, then another thing. In addition to a VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) environment there is more planned change that ever before: multiple consecutive structure changes, budget cuts, senior leadership changes, local and central government changes, and the list goes on. With each planned change comes rework, upheaval, changing priorities and ineffective use of resources.
The emotional impact of change is significant too. My clients tell me change fatigue impacts their mental and physical health, job satisfaction declines, and relationships and family suffer.
Focusing on what you CAN control and influence helps! For example:
· identifying unhelpful systemic issues and communicating them with the right people,
· influencing decision makers,
· managing personal and collective energy,
· creating supportive problem solving and decision making skills,
· increasing individual and combined team resilience,
· leading others through change,
· and most importantly, finding ways to celebrate and share your amazing successes.
If your team is suffering from change fatigue, I would love to have a chat. Please get in touch or see www.growtobe.com. Reduce the pain!
