Companies are big on change these days. Many workers are often clueless as to why changes are being made, or the importance of being able to change things in an organization quickly and effectively. And that is why change frequently doesn't happen and businesses fail. Charles H. Bishop Jr., a Chicago-based consultant on change, said employees must be given a clear indication of why alterations must be made. But people who work for a company are more interested in understanding what a change means to them and the rationale behind it.
Bishop counsels corporate clients when it's time to tell workers.
He added that workers should understand that businesses unable to respond to a changing marketplace quickly and effectively will fail. Bishop also believes organizations must build on those individuals who are capable of change. Some people just don't want to change and will fight it. Management has got to know the people in order to make it work. They not only respond positively to change, they drive it and are eager to jump in and experience new things.
