Improve Change Leadership and Change Readiness

People and organisations planning or implementing change draw resources from a hidden reservoir—their supply of change readiness. For many, this reservoir is half-full at best. How successfully you change, how long it takes, and how disruptive it is depends on how much change readiness you have.

The process of engaging in change usually reduces the supply of readiness. Why? Reality is hard to change. There are reasons for what it is, and there are forces that resist change. When people do attempt to change it, they encounter these resisting forces and experience unpleasant realities like anxiety, confusion, uncertainty, doubt, frustration, and fatigue. 

You can choose to live with these limitations or do something about it. The most effective thing you can do is build up your change readiness supply.

Is that hard to do? It’s not that hard if you know how to do it, have the right tools, and have done it many times before. You can make significant progress in just a few months.
