Transitions
thrust individuals and organizations into situations for which they
are often ill prepared. While business seeks stability, transition
is a constant companion:
§ New employees
§ Departing
employees
§ Retiring employees
§ Promotions
§ Reorganizations
§ New business models
§ New product lines
§ Mergers and buyouts
Workgroups
and individual employees have been marching along, successfully doing
what they’ve been doing in the way they were trained to do it, and
with the results to prove it. Then suddenly, what worked before no
longer brings the desired results. Why? Because the environment has
changed.
Behaviors, and therefore
outcomes, are the result of how we interpret our environment. And
when the environment changes, we usually bring the same behaviors
to the new problem as worked to solve the old one. The result? Frustration,
drop in production, stress, low morale. More than one new supervisor
has been heard to say, “I used to be smart before I got this promotion.”
And no wonder: their behaviors have been based on interpretations
of a world that just doesn’t exist anymore.
New environments require
new behaviors to be successful. And since we often don’t have control
of WHAT we’re experiencing, we have to address HOW we’re experiencing
it.
New Interpretations
Applying
old interpretations to new environments leads to resistance, confusion
and inefficiency. Challenging those old rules and interpretations,
and developing new interpretations based on the new definition of
success leads to effective behaviors with positive outcomes.
When
Facilitated Properly, Transition Is The
Fuel For Growth And New Opportunities
