Almost every time I facilitate a session on leading change I take people through an exercise I’ve been using for 20 years – the seven dynamics of change. It’s based on Ken Blanchard’s work about the seven predictable patterns that people go through when experiencing change. I love this exercise and it works every time to drive home my key points about people’s reactions to change.
Listen in to learn about the seven dynamics and consider how these dynamics are playing out in your change efforts.
Tune into my other podcast - Talking Change with Jen and Rebecca - to learn about the 20 pivotal conversations you can have to address the seven dynamics, plan and manage change, and engage people to buy in and commit to change!
For more details on the seven dynamics of change - read chapter 2 in Talking Change: Must-Have Conversations for Successful Leaders.
