Organization Change: What To Avoid In Terms Of Getting Executive Support During Organization Change
Professional advice regarding getting the right kind of executive support during organization change is valuable. You can save a whole lot of resources if you have that kind of advice available to you. Sometimes, it’s also beneficial to give advice about what to avoid and what not to do. There are times that even the greatest of advices can bring about results that are unexpected and not welcome. So it’s good if you know exactly what to avoid.
Avoid the temptation to merge meetings about running the business and organization change. The reason this is tempting in the first place is that it seems like it should save time. This is rarely, if ever, the final result. Running the business brings about pressing matters and they usually are the ones with top priority.
Let’s say for example, a meeting is being held to discuss change endeavors. And then someone pipes up and tells the room that there’s an emergency in the store, there was an error in production. Immediate attention will be given to the problem at hand and everyone will forget that they were talking about organization change. So it’s a good idea to hold a different meeting to tackle organization change alone.
Try to avoid making getting organization change onto the agenda into a political game. This will just result in misuse of time and a waste of valuable resources.
The executive running the meeting needs to be disciplined enough to not allow the meeting to turn back to run the business matters when organization change is the focal point of the meeting. You might have to put your fist down and impose your authority to stick to the focal point of the meeting, but just remember that it’s for the greater good of the organization. It might not be an easy task, but it should be done.
If you can just avoid these roadblocks, the level of executive support should be far more consistent during organization change. And this would definitely lead to a successful organization change.
