Actions to Manage Transitions

Change and Transition Coachcast Series



"Change" is different from "transition," and leaders ignore transition at their peril.
Here’s seven actions that leaders can DO to get their organizations through transitions...

  • Communicate, communicate, then communicate some more.
  • Adopt a life-cycle approach - make procedures and processes temporary.
  • Match your action to the current state of transition - routine, ending, abeyance, or starting.
  • Deal with emotions.
  • Ensure time for real conversations.
  • Celebrate major transitions - say goodbye.
  • Find the right metaphor.

This episode is part of our coachcast series on leading change and managing transition.
