Stablity, Balance and Predictability (for www.asiasmes.com)
Despite the thousands of years of evolution, human beings, by nature, still aim to seek out stability, balance and predictability. Achieving the state of homeostasis is a universal thirst.
Studies have revealed that people are actually at their best when they get enough sleep, enough exercise, enough food intake. Studies show that married people live longer than the singles. Likewise those with a large circle of support group tend to lead healthier and happier lives. In relation to the workplace, human beings tend to bring those same inclinations.
Thus, it is understandable why people resist change. However, recent years showed an increasing number people who have accepted change as the norm, more specifically, within organizations and businesses. Thus, managers today are hired not merely to manager operations or to administrate. They are here to manage and facilitate change.
Managers, then, need to learn as much as they could on becoming effective change managers. Managers could read books, take courses, adopt new techniques and practice new behaviors. As a manager of change, you now have to be more open to your staff’s inputs than you have been in the past.
