In the latest submission to Sophia Confidential, About to Fall Off the Change Tightrope writes:
“The amount and pace of change is challenging for all to manage. As a leader, I try to support the organization with change efforts, I struggle with myself with all the changes, and I have a team that I want to support with navigating incessant change. How can I balance supporting all three of those? Does one take priority over the others? I want to convey support for the organization while also listening and asking how I can support my team, but I don't want to come across as oblivious to how hard it is, as just 'toeing the party line.' Help!.”
Here’s a sneak peek at Sophia’s response:
“At the risk of repeating what we’ve all heard since childhood, change is hard. But I also firmly believe that change can be really good. Yet still, even things that are good can sometimes be really hard. So now that I’ve stated the obvious let’s delve in. You’ve got three buckets that need to be kept full but you only have two arms (at best) to carry those buckets. Dropping one is an option but then which one do you set down? Which one takes priority, as you rightly ask.”
