How to Handle Change as a Powerful Leader!

First you must change, then others will follow!

The Five Keys for Personal Change”

The most important asset within Business – Your People!

Have you ever heard “if only he or she would change, it would make things a lot easier”, or ‘this is a great article you need to ensure that your team reads so that they will change”. Change is an interesting topic and I was speaking to another coach and he was saying to me ‘do not use the word change, as people are resistant to change’. Now this is really interesting as I believe that if you do not grow, evolve and change throughout your life then you have to come to the realization that; “this is as good as it gets”. Now I don’t know about you however I would like to hope that with my wisdom and actions; that things will get better in my life. That I can achieve my goals and aspirations and that my opportunities are out there just waiting for me to take action. That through further development of myself and through implementing my successful strategies so that I can create a business that is aligned with my aspirations and desires.

motivational factors and theories

Facts around motivators

Internal Motivators

Our personal value systems – The way we believe things ought to be

Different Generations are motivated by different values

Internal motivators are often referred to as ‘psychological rewards’

Internal motivators are intrinsic

External motivators

Tangible rewards – like salary, flexibility, working environment and conditions

External motivators need to be aligned with internal motivators

Abilities also pay an important part of motivation

If we feel that our abilities are much greater than that required for our job, our motivation can be negatively affected due to the absence of challenge

Setting team boundaries

Clarify team boundaries to create focused action

When high performing teams begin to operate autonomously, the freedom associated with new responsibilities and authority may seem unclear. What can we do and what can’t we do? This is where boundaries become valuable because they help us define our authority clearly and thus allow us to make good decisions and take independent actions.

A boundary is a limit or dividing line. It is a border that defines a territory. For example, the line that divides our property from that of our neighbour’s is a boundary, and we know not to cross it when planting trees and shrubs. Because this boundary is clearly defined, we can make decisions on our property without fear of ‘overstepping our bounds’.

When two team members can't get along

First of all, whether or not employees like one another is not what interests us here. The positive, accommodating work environment that we never tire of mentioning is not predicated on individuals liking one another. This isn’t Love at AOL. Sure, it helps if your team can give a group hug at the end of the day’s work. But it’s not a professional requirement – and rather implausible, too. Respecting one another in their jobs is another story. Again, we come back to compartmentalization. It’s the job functions that have to get done and done well. If employees can do their jobs, working alongside coworkers whom they dislike personally, then that’s peachy keen, and there’s nothing you can or should do about it. If, however, the animus felt between employees filters down into less-than-adequate job performance, you’ve got to act.
