Building Resilience and Open Communication to Prepare for Change
To effectively navigate change, it is crucial for managers to focus on building resilience, fostering flexibility, and promoting open lines of communication within their teams. By cultivating these qualities, managers can ensure that their team members are prepared and ready for any upcoming changes. This involves actively sharing information, creating a feedback loop, and being vulnerable about their own uncertainties and concerns. Prioritizing these aspects of team readiness can lead to increased engagement, productivity, and overall success in times of change.
