EP. 26 There's No "Change" In Change Management (Morning Huddle)

Morning Huddle w/ Joseph Cabrera, host of the Professionally Offensive Podcast.  In this episode, Joseph talks about why the "Change" part of Change Management can be so problematic.  Most managers come into a new role and immediately want to start shaking things up, then wonder why nothing really is improving.  Simple answer: You did not build the understanding, rapport and foundation to actually create progress- If anything, you created new friction and enemies.  Before you can make something better, you have to really understand the current situation and where your Team is.  Change Management is tough as it is, without further creating a moving target of symptoms that you have to treat.  Leadership may have hired you to create immediate change,  but it is your patience and observations that will ultimately make you successful.  One thing not to be underestimated, is how you rally the folks that will ultimately help you create lasting and positive change- Your Team.  Honor the blood, sweat and tears already expended to create what has already been built, then look to improve.  Spending the first few months building connective tissue and a real human relationship, will create the conditions for success.
