Ten years ago, Facebook didn’t exist, and now one-and-a-quarter billion people and millions of businesses use it to communicate. Twenty years ago, you probably didn’t have an email address, and now it’s hard to imagine life (or your business) without email.
This is the fastest-changing communications and technology landscape we’ve ever been in. But to succeed in business, you must run towards it. The status quo can be so much more comfortable. Tom Peters, American writer on business management practicesĬhange is good.
Winners must learn to relish change with the same enthusiasm and energy that we have resisted it in the past. Some managers fail to recognise the symptoms of change as directly related to proposed or actual changes, such as high staff turnover, conflict, lateness, mistakes, injuries, low morale and lowered productivity.Įve Ash, Australian psychologist and managing director of Seven DimensionsĮxcellent firms don’t believe in excellence, only in constant improvement and constant change. Resistance to change is normal yet a very destructive thing. Many people hate change, yet others look forward to it. In most cases, loyal brand lovers hate change so before implementing any change, you need to ask: What additional value do I bring to my customers, employees and other stakeholders? For big or small businesses any change in brand identity such as image, logo, slogan, has an impact on the brand image and how the customers perceive the products or services. Stan Goldberg, author of “I Have Cancer,” 48 Things To do When You Hear the Words and eight other books on the sharp points of lifeĬhange is inevitable, but are we always forced to change because we live in a highly-connected, fast-paced global environment? I think change for the sake of change has nothing to do with true innovation and fostering creativity or acquiring new knowledge and learning the necessary new skills to stay competitive. Even the most basic understanding of the principles of change would make transitions easier, whether it’s the head of a country proposing universal insurance, the CEO of a corporation after for more accountability from his employees, or a wife annoyed at her husband’s messiness. Unfortunately, those who push for change are shocked when there’s blow-back. A helpful maxim is that the smoothest journey occurs when what you’re asking a person, organisation, or country to do, is almost as easy as not changing. Problems are created by the speed at which it occurs and the threat it poses to those being asked to change. The relentless pursuit for “better” can sometimes leave us bitter, regretting changes we didn’t need to make.īob Tamasy, author and Vice President of Communications Leaders Legacy, Inc.Ĭhange isn’t inherently good or bad.
Change for the sake of change is a risk – the grass on the fence’s other side isn’t always greener. When given the opportunity to exert our will in the matter, we’re wise to proceed with caution. We like it best on our terms, but don’t always have that option. Rick Newman, author of Rebounders: How Winners Pivot from Setback to Success and a columnist for Yahoo Finance

When change makes us better, it’s because we have learned how to turn a challenging situation to our own advantage, not merely because change happens. Change can teach us to adapt and help us develop resilience, but only if we understand our own capacity for growth and learning. What’s important about change is how we anticipate it and react to it. It may force us out of tired habits and impose better ones upon us, but it can also be stressful, costly and even destructive. But are those who advocate that change is a good thing, always right? INCH sought the opinions of those with something to sayĬhange is not always a good thing.
