ICommunicate Radio Show #128: Embracing And Supporting Organizational Change

In this week’s episode of ICommunicate, Mark discusses how to make change communication clear, empathetic and motivational as it flows from the top to the bottom of an organization. Segment 1: When companies seek to make major changes, communicating that efficiently with all people involved is much easier said than done. How can we clearly get across our point and avoid miscommunication? Segment 2: We’ve all come to know and understand those dreaded words -- “resistance is futile.” When we’re in a situation where change is happening out of our control, how can we determine if it is for the greater good? How can we come to terms with major changes in the workplace? Segment 3: It’s in our nature to duck for cover when we have to come to terms with change that we’re not necessarily confident in. How do we determine when it is time to move forward with a major decision we’re in charge of making? How can we recover from negative experiences so that we don’t repeat the same mistakes? Segment 4: With so many moving pieces involved in change management, communicating effectively across every department is a challenge in and of itself. What should the process for communicating major change in the workplace look like and who should be involved?
