Change Management Failures – Change Scares People
Very few people who embrace change well. As a result, organizations fail to implement change strategies 70% of the time. Change management failure often leads to the destruction of the organization. Stress levels rise exponentially with the increase in the rate of change, leading to strong resistance to change, internal conflict and loss of productivity. In the organizational change because it increases the number of days off “sick” leave in organizations that do not implement carefully and correctly.
There are dozens of theories about why organizations behave as they do. And even more as to why people resist change and will often sabotage themselves rather than letting a lead change in their organization. Whitehall report showed clearly that people who believe that they have little or no effect on the environment they carry far more stress than the controls (sorry Mr. Manager, I know you think you carry most of the organizational stress!). Changes only add more stress to the already high burden.
Just put a smart manager will recognize the needs of his / her people and implement strategies to incorporate these needs into the program change before anything else starts. This requires the evaluation process and a very specific communications that are often beyond the knowledge base of even the best managers of people. Get it wrong and you’ll pay the price.
So does this mean having to avoid a change in an organization? If you avoid becoming a statistic of failure by doing nothing? Unfortunately this also brought disaster on the fast moving world. You are damned if you do and damned if you do not. So you might as well get it right the first time.
