What does leading change mean to you?

‘Pushed’ to change or carrot and stick approach, change

happens because….

Leading change in a new era

Dominant approach Emerging direction

@HelenBevan

Does this work?

• More than 70% of all major transformation efforts fail.

Why?

Because organizations do not take a consistent, holistic approach to

changing themselves, nor do they engage their workforces effectively.

John Kotter

“Change doesn’t rain down on us from on high. Rather, its stories

are co-created and co-owned by the community. Or, at least they

are if you want the change to stick” Julian Stodd

What does the NHS workforce think?

• Front line teams get too many high priority messages from leaders each

day, making it difficult for them to know what to focus on

Increasing number of messages as information cascade through the organisation

Confusing strategies

One way communication

• The biggest mistake people make is that communication is involvement / engagement

• One way communications kills co-creation and does not harness the flow of energy

• It can kill relationships • Keeps people feeling controlled and ‘done to’

Stifling innovation

• Be suspicious of new ideas • Invoke history – ‘we tried that before and it didn’t work’ • Keep people really people – if people have time to thing about

changing stuff they clearly aren’t that business • In the name of excellence – cut throat competition • Confine discussions of strategies and plans to a small circle – • Act as punishing failure motivates success • Blame problems on the incompetent people below – weak skills poor
