Where does change
get stuck?
You’ve agreed on a change. Here’s what can get in the way of putting it into practice.
WHAT YOU’RE RUNNING INTO
What to do differently.
Everyone agrees. Nothing changes.
The announcement is over, and the old routines are back.
→
Try a small change, then learn from what happens.
Choose one change with the people doing the work, agree what it should improve, and set a time to review it. Help clear the obstacles, adjust what is not working, and make what works part of everyday practice.
Priorities keep pulling people apart.
Teams are busy, but working toward different versions of the goal.
→
Choose priorities together around what customers need.
Agree what you want to improve for your customers, then decide which work matters most and what can wait. Review the results and customer feedback together, and change priorities when the work is not helping.
Every decision comes back to you.
You want people to take ownership, but the approvals haven’t changed.
→
Let people make decisions without waiting for you.
Be clear about what teams can decide, the limits they need to work within, and when to ask for help. Review what happened and what they learned together, then adjust how much responsibility they can take on.
