WCI's Change Management expert, Lindsey Waddell interviewed

WCI's Change Management expert, Lindsey Waddell has contributed to an article written for The Guardian by freelance PR consultant, Esther Harris.

In today's fluid environment, organisations need to keep transforming.  While leaders may like the idea of change, how good are they at introducing it and, more importantly, communicating it to staff?

Lindsey says: 'Leaders need to paint a clear picture of their 'vision' so that everyone can relate to it.  It is no good pontificating from an ivory tower, leaders should be talking to their staff, answering their questions, and using their talents to make change work.'  

She continues...'fear and 'change fatigue' are the other major reasons why change fails.  Constant and ongoing change is unsettling, particularly when employees don't have a real understanding of why it is happening.  Combined with fears about job security, this can make even the most diligent of staff uncooperative.  People worry about job losses, hidden agendas, loss of identity, and of not being able to do adapt to the new ways of working.'
