The true impact of change and innovation
Change and innovation are often seen as essential for a dynamic and modern company. Whether it's mergers, reorganizations, new processes or policy changes, leaders often deploy change as the ultimate solution. However, this often leads to ongoing unrest and uncertainty among employees.
The downside of constant change
While growth and adaptation are necessary, a tense work environment rarely leads to extra effort. Chaos hinders speed and agility and increases employee turnover and the chance of 'quiet quitting'. As a result, change sometimes actually hinders the intended success.
A new approach to human performance
Ashley Goodall, with years of experience in HR at Deloitte and Cisco, presents an alternative to this constant turbulence. He proposes to:
- promote team cohesion instead of constantly reshuffling teams,
- use clear, understandable communication instead of jargon,
- focus on predictability instead of charisma,
- honor shared rituals instead of imposed team activities,
- improve only real bottlenecks instead of 'move fast and break things'.
This approach creates work environments where people can get the best out of themselves.
