What is change readiness?

Usually, the most challenging part of any change is getting people to engage and stick with it until the changes take effect. People generally find that difficult to do. Partly because they are trying to do two things at once – staying productive on core business and making new changes happen.

However, they also find it difficult if change readiness is low. There is much we could teach you about change readiness, but here are three important things to understand about it.

First, it is a crucial leadership skill in the modern world. The leadership community is increasingly aware that change readiness is critical for good outcomes. We can help you develop your leadership effectiveness and repertoire by focusing on change readiness and how to create more of it.

Second, change readiness is essential for the sustainable growth of any business or organisation. You can’t grow if you don’t change, and the more ready you are for change, the faster you can go and the further you can go.

Third, change readiness is essential for workplace wellness. Change stresses people. We even have a term for it: change fatigue. Growing personal change readiness is developing coping strategies that help people cope with change and thrive through change. If you want to build a sustainable and high-performing workforce, you must consider change readiness.
