Jeannette discusses the importance of effective communication during times of great change in organisations. Drawing from her 30 years of experience in business, she shares six key tips for navigating through change and ensuring clear and empathetic communication with teams.
She focusses on the need to explain the reasons behind the change, create space for individuals to process and ask questions, demonstrate through actions and words, encourage dialogue and provide answers, build engagement through accomplishments, and actively manage oneself as a leader
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Communication is crucial during times of change in an organisation.
Explaining the reasons behind the change is important, both on a macro and micro level.
Providing space for individuals to process the change and ask questions is essential.
Leaders should be mindful of their behaviours and body language, as they are being closely observed during times of change.
Encouraging dialogue and actively managing oneself as a leader are key to navigating through change successfully.
BEST MOMENTS
"Explain why. Why is the change happening, whether that's a reorganisation structure, whether it's a change in direction, whether it's an exit from a business, buying a new business, introducing a new product line, maybe closing certain offices within an organisation, whatever the change is."
"Encourage dialogue. Don't shy away from the tough conversations, the fierce conversations that you might need to have, but at the same time, make sure that it doesn't spiral into sort of, you know, a pool of negativity necessarily."
"Change is not always bad. Change is often very, very positive. And actually, when you get through the change, if you ever do, because you're always changing and growing, actually, you can find that coming out the other side, you know, people that are still part of that future”
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
