Evidence-Based Ouotes On Managing Organizational Change

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Leadership, Management, Workplace Learning

‘Cultural change is fundamentally about behavioral change.’

‘It’s worth noting that the focus should not be on persuading people but rather on ‘understanding before being understood.’

‘By conciously choosing your words, you can guide the narrative in a way that feels intuitive and less aversive. The exact wording that you use, whether change, movement, or something else, depends on the context and culture of your organization.’

‘By engaging with employees, customers, and other stakeholders, leaders can gain valuable insights into how the change is perceived by and will impact various groups that can be used to identify potential roadblocks.’

‘When senior leaders (as with other stakeholders) don’t understand the purpose of the change, they’re less likely to get behind it, leading to a lack of sponsorship, engagement, and role-modeling.’

‘Employees who feel valued and invested in are more likely to embrace change, making the change process smoother and more effective.’

‘Status is the problem, and being a likeable badass is the solution.’

‘Showing up as a likeable badass is the most effective and controllable way to gain status.’

‘Ocassionally feeling like an imposter is the best evidence that you’re not one.’

‘When you have an opportunity to reveal your accomplishments or confess your ambition, do it! Then add a concluding statement focused on benefiting others.’- Stacey Abrams

‘Promote yourself through email with a two-part automated reply. State the awesome thing you’re doing, then add a few details that showcase your likeability, humor, or helpfulness.’

‘When you have an accomplishment that may go unnoticed, make people aware by offering sincere praise for those who contributed to your success.’

‘Don’t sell yourself short. When you’ve earned respect and admiration, you’re in a priviledged position to do a lot of good, both for yourself and for others.’

‘Never apologize for the food you serve. No one knows how it was supposed to turn out but you.’
