DRIVING dedication during change

A POCKET GUIDE FOR becoming an effective linchpin

 

Not all linchpins are created equal. Some can handle more workload and pressure than others. Others are designed for specific tasks. When effective, linchpins enable. When ineffective, they can cripple.

When change comes along and demands people's best performance, some feel its destructive side. Destructive change can rip the heart out of an organization. It can kill the spirit and leave people feeling beaten, injured, or exhausted.

At the same time, change can also ignite an organization. Effective change can open up doors to hearts, minds, and opportunities that otherwise might have remained locked or stagnant.

How? Meet people where they are.

Manage the moment by understanding what is missing. Repair what change has damaged or destroyed. Choose the pace of the organization. Some cultures can move quickly. Others need to move slow.  Either way, change is exponential and puts high demands on an organization. People who invest themselves wholly in their work deliver meaningful results.

It comes down to this—cultivating the flame of dedication to the organization, beyond one's team. You needed it yesterday. With today's problems and crises, you can't operate an organization at room temperature.

The principles outlined in this guide explain how you can help stabilize the organization from the destructive forces of change. Follow this coaching, and watch dedication ignite.

You have the opportunity to become a catalyst for the kind of change you want to see.
