Many organisations struggle to make the necessary changes to keep ahead of stretching growth ambitions.
Leaders and managers are getting increasingly frustrated when new processes or systems are introduced – but then fail to make the anticipated improvements in performance or results.
Our research shows the biggest barrier is that people get stuck in the belief that they will only ever be the way they are today.
Yet, through all our lives, individuals grow, develop new skills and different hobbies and interests. Organisations let people forget how change-ready, resourceful, flexible and brilliant they can be.
People change when their environment supports and encourages continued growth and, when the pursuit of excellence is directly linked to their interests (community, family, customer delight, team working etc), remarkable improvements happen always.
The biggest reason change doesn’t happen is because leaders and managers try to communicate and win hearts and minds by appealing to intellect not interest!
People will move heaven and earth to contribute to something in which they have a deep and passionate interest.
When people’s hearts and minds are won, everything else soon follows! The work environment becomes vibrant and unstoppable. Results go through the roof. The team spirit becomes electric.
All too often organisations want their employees to just do their jobs well. How can that happen if they’re not really bought into the direction, the vision and how important they are to making it all happen?
If you require free help and advice on how to do this effectively – and why wouldn’t you when it creates performance improvements like this:-
- As a result of our work with an organisation in the automotive industry they had seen their sales increase … by the end of 2015 they were at a 9.1% increase – year to date 2016 they are at 11.5%
- Another organisation in the financial services industry had seen an increase in turnover of 58% – from £87M to £148M
- Also, after working with an organisation in the oil and gas industry, we helped them accelerate performance and achieve their growth plan of 5 years in less than 2 years
