Many senior leadership teams do not understand the impact of all the change, and how critical it is to choose wisely and stay focused. We are going through a lot of change ourselves right now at Blanchard and we are trying hard to practice what we preach. It is extremely challenging because people (including me!) experience change as such a threat. Thank you for your addition!

You are right. What was I thinking? Thank you so much.

But they luck skills in planning and did not give time for implementation to have an effect on the teams. In fact if you involve people in perfecting the change they can all feel the success and the rate of unhappiness and frustration can significantly decreases. But if change after change is forced on teams, and they did not have the time to follow up with, the people will feel burned out quickly and most of all unsuccessful. My opinion. Romanian saying,…”The fish, gets spoiled from the head towards the tail” . Companies need to make up for a “Better head”

Stress also causes illness and disease. You have to consider the rate and amount of change and how much an organism, an organization, or an individual can endure and not pay a price where the cost becomes a negative, ultimately on the bottom line for everyone. This scenario also sounds like people are not active participants neither in planning nor implementing the changes, thus they may not be invested mentally, physically or emotionally. Your last sentence, “I hope you figure this out…..” might better say, “There are strategies to figure this out which can be productive for everyone and a plan for resolving this issue would be a great idea. Why? Because planned change has the best chance for success.”
