Here in the UK, post the general election and a "hung" parliament, we have recently seen a practical political illustration of what John Kotter calls a "coalition for change" with the merging of 2 political parties to form a government.

Building the "energy for change" and "creating a coalition for change" is a vital aspect of the change communication process. The change has a far better chance of remaining a priority if there is an energy for it; and motivating people to respond constructively to change is also essentially all to do with energy.

Themes that are emerging in the sphere of change management are increasingly reflecting the need for the change leaders to respond to and harness this energy dimension and specifically by stressing the importance of emotional connection.

This week's featured article is: "Harnessing The Energy Of Change Management"

I look forward to your feedback on this.

Best Wishes
Stephen

Harnessing The Energy Of Change Management

Coming Soon...

Most of us are involved with messy situations where the principles and "rules" of good change leadership and management are not applied, and all too often change is imposed on us.

This short e-book (20-30 pages) will outline simple practical strategies for handling imposed change, specifically:

• How to take action on the things you can change

• How to learn to live with those things you can not change

• How to develop the skill and insight to know the difference
