Change is Hard... Here's Why 01/23/2010
![]() Most change efforts fail. It's really just that simple. You see a change you want to make in your organization, you attempt to make the change, yet things stay the same. Why? "The Three Laws of Performance" by Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan talks about this. In short, the world is complex, so humans break things down into simple packets in order to try to make sense of it all. This is our perception. It's the way we see things. A CEO of a major corporation has a very different perspective than a life-long factory worker. So what happens when the CEO and the factory worker try to get on the same page? They don't even speak the same language! In order to change, people must change their perception and meet in a common area. This requires listening, learning and practice. All parties must listen to each other and try to see reality over their own perceptions. The team must learn a common language so they communicate from similar perspectives. Finally, the group must "LIVE" the change and practice it so that it becomes the way they do things. Change is hard, but it's not impossible. All it takes is a change in perception!
