Are you effectively developing your managers and supervisors as leaders of change?
Managers and supervisors are perhaps the biggest ally and potentially the biggest obstacle in times of change. Are you effectively engaging this group?
The Prosci’s Change Management Centre provided five tips for developing managers and supervisors as coaches of change:
- Get them on board - managers and supervisors have to go through their own change process before supporting their direct reports.
- Share the role you expect - at both a high-level and a detailed set of actions.
- Build competencies - appreciate that "leading change" is a competency that can and must be developed.
- Provide tools - including individual change models, tip sheets and information for fulfilling roles.
- Provide support - help managers and supervisors succeed at leading change with peer and expert support.
