A Guide to Better Management Managing Change

The first stage of being able to manage change well is to convince yourself that change is actually something which brings benefits.

the 1970s, Richard Bandler and John Grinder set out to answer the questions: ‘how do wildly successful people create their success?’ and ‘how can other people use the same methods to become wildly successful as well?’.
As a result of their study, they discovered something amazing: successful people might be successful in different things (an Olympic skier vs. a Wall Street banker), but they all had very similar beliefs. These became the NLP ‘presuppositions’, or the building blocks of NLP that every beginner needs to know.
Because without installing these powerful beliefs, you’ll find that trying to use the NLP strategies will be like running into a brick wall to get to your destination: difficult.
But the miraculous effect upon starting to believe these beliefs is not only do the NLP strategies start to come more easily, you’ll actually start using, adapting and even creating new strategies of success...naturally.

Successful change management is about taking the people with you. The first person you need to take with you, is you. And once you’ve done that it becomes much easier to take others along as well. It’s emotional rather than logical, remember that if you want to manage change you need to manage the feelings that people have and acknowledge that there is a fear of loss and that it can be changed into a looking forward for gain.
