EFFECT OF CHANGE
• DON’T RUN TO CHALLENGES
Change means trying new things and that can be scary. Fear makes some people avoid change. How do you react when you’re faced with something new? Do you take on the challenge, or do you run from it?
• SPENDING TIME WITH PEOPLE FOR POSITIVE CHANGE
Your key people must have a degree of influence with the rest of your people. Otherwise, they will have trouble leading others to carry out the tasks before them. Make sure you’re spending time with the people who will help you inspire positive change in your organization.
• MAKES YOU THINK DIFFERENTLY
Think about it. We all have comfortable routines and habits, and people don’t like to be told to change the way they do things. Some people avoid change because it makes them think differently and act in ways that are uncomfortable.
• RESISTANCE TO CHANGE
I have spent much time observing why and when people start resisting change. Some strive until they are comfortable, then settle in and don’t want to grow. For most, a negative experience has made them pull back and say never again.
• RIGHT AMOUNT OF CHANGE CAN STRENTHEN US
Even when people realize that change is inevitable, they respond differently to its challenges. Some retreat into their emotional and spiritual bomb shelters and refuse to become a part of the action. Still, the right amount of change can strengthen us.
• DON’T RUN AWAY FROM THE CHALLENGES OF CHANGE
You and I enjoy our little nests, and we have worked hard to build them. This explains why we resent it when God starts to ‘shake up’ the nest. God wants us to grow. Not everybody who grows old grows up, and those who fail to grow up are often the ones who have run away from the challenges of change.
• HAVE THE DESIRE TO CHANGE
No choice will determine the success of your attitude change more than desiring to change. Many people have climbed over insurmountable obstacles to make themselves better people when they realized that change is possible.
• OPEN TO CHANGE TO CREATE NEW PARADIGMS
I don’t want to remind you that we live in a world of fast-paced change. We laugh at the fact that the US Patent Office nearly closed down toward the end of the 19th Century, because many felt that nothing new could be invented. Those who lead the pack today are those who are not only open to change but to the new paradigms whole new ways of looking at established facts.
• A LEADER MUST BE A ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AGENT
The leaders in any organization must be the environmental change agents. They must be more like thermostats than thermometers. At first glance, a person could confuse these instruments. Both are capable of measuring heat. However, they’re quite different.
• MOMENTUM IS A GREAT CHANGE AGENT
With momentum, leaders look better than they actually are. With momentum, followers increase their performance. Without momentum, leaders look worse than they actually are. Without momentum, followers decrease their performance. Momentum is the greatest change agents.
• CHANGE YOUR THOUGHT PATTERNS
That which holds our attention determines our action. We are where we are and what we are because of the dominating thought that occupy our minds.
• CHANGE CONTINUALLY TO LEAD BETTER
If you want to lead, you have to continue to change. Once you’ve learned how hard it can be to change yourself, then you’ll understand that it can be just as hard to get your followers to change.
• CHANGE MAKES YOU THINK DIFFERENTLY
Think about it. We all have comfortable routines ad habits, and people don’t like to be told to change the way they do things. Some people avoid change because it makes them think differently and act in ways that are uncomfortable.
• UNDERSTAND CHANGE BETTER TO CHANGE
Change is especially hard when you don’t understand why things have to change. Some people avoid change because they don’t understand it.
• DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKE TO CHANGE
I’m not perfect. You know! Of course you’re not! None of us is. Everybody makes mistakes, even the smartest people in the world. The worst mistake you can make is to be afraid of making a mistake because if you don’t try new things, you’ll never change.
• PERSUADE: POWER TO CHANGE
Leaders have 2 characteristics; First, they are going somewhere, second, they are able to persuade other people to change and go with them. Jesus is a great of that kind of leader. All of His Disciples had jobs and family commitments when they meet Him. But Jesus was able to persuade to change what they were doing to follow Him.
• ACCEPT MISTAKE TO CHANGE
A good leader will always admit when she or he is wrong. Watch how fast your followers run if you make a mistake and don’t admit it. As I said before, we all make mistakes. If you’re afraid of making mistake, you’ll never change, neither will your followers.
• CHANGE IS HARD: EVERYONE HAS TO FEEL IT’S WORTH
A good leader will be honest with his/her followers about what’s going on, and she’ll/he’ll give them time to think about what’s going to change. We all need to think about what change will mean to us. Change isn’t a easy thing to do, and everyone has to feel it’s worth.
• APPLICATION
Musician Bruce Springsteen offered this insight; A time comes when you need to stop waiting for the man you want to become and start being the man you want to be. In other words, you need to apply what you’ve learned. Your goal is to keep learning so that you want to change for the better everyday.
