E21 When implementing a change, you're asking people to go into the unknown with you.

Change is inevitable in the workplace, but it doesn't have to be disruptive or chaotic. In fact, there are many ways to implement organizational changes that will lead to success for your organization. The first step towards implementing any kind of organizational change is preparing your organization and yourself for it. In this episode, we have guest Flip Brown, Founder & CEO of Business Culture Consultant Flip Brown talks about what is needed to succeed with an organizational change and how important is to access the employee's level of optimism about the future of the company because if people are optimistic, then they will put energy into the change efforts. But if they're pessimistic, it's going to be a wait-and-see attitude. He also talks about how important it is to have shared ownership of the process of continuous improvement to ensure success. "Transformational change is when you have an epiphany such that you realize that you really from this moment on, things must be different now." Flip Brown.
