This message is dedicated to learning how to cultivate a culture where change can be a more positive, successful, and sustainable experience!\u00a0 Change requires us to have courage to face our fear of the unpredictable unknown! Regardless of how dysfunctional, unhappy, unproductive, or toxic the current culture maybe it often feels safer to keep the status quo. The known almost always feels safer than the unknown. That is why the value of the change must be clear to those expected to make the change. It is important for the value and benefits of change to rate an 8 or above on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being high. Otherwise, the chance for the change to be sustained is limited.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QhmQlZCFeIY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Change starts in our mind!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I facilitate Culture Camps nationwide.\u00a0 I have found 5 consistent strategies that cultivate positive change!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trust in leadership<\/li>\n<li>Clear and consistent message<\/li>\n<li>Structured plan<\/li>\n<li>Adequate training and practice time<\/li>\n<li>Realistic workload<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Number 1!\u00a0 Trust in the leadership. If the team members trust their leader(s) they will be more willing to step into the unpredictable unknown. Leaders can build trust by embodying the following traits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Model the waddle is the number one leadership principle &#8211; in other words lead by example<\/li>\n<li>Aligned leadership &#8211; Have a clear and consistent direction<\/li>\n<li>Be transparent and keep the team in the loop as much as possible<\/li>\n<li>Be open to suggestions and feedback<\/li>\n<li>Address any obstacles, fears, or concerns the team may have in open communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Number 2!\u00a0 Communicate a clear and consistent message. Set your team up to succeed by communicating the change clearly and concisely. I suggest the following communication process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clarify expectations<\/li>\n<li>Ask questions to make sure everyone understands<\/li>\n<li>Write objective down in bullet points if more than a couple of things<\/li>\n<li>Set realistic expectations for completion time and date<\/li>\n<li>For more involved or longer tasks schedule a check in<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Number 3!\u00a0 Develop a well-structured plan. If you want the team to embrace a change, ask for their suggestions and feedback on how to implement the change. If you want the team to have ownership, give them authorship as well. A well-structured plan is well thought out and clearly defined. I teach teams the R.I.S.E. Implementation Process to help them work together to create a well-structured plan. R.I.S.E. is an acronym for Review, Implement, Sustain and Evaluate.\u00a0 Email me at JudyKay@PracticeSolutionsInc.net and request R.I.S.E. Process White page.<\/p>\n<p>Number 4!\u00a0 Schedule appropriate and adequate training and practice time. I have found that the most positive and successful changes happen when the team has time to train and practice.\u00a0 Team meetings are the perfect opportunity for training and practice time.<\/p>\n<p>Number 5!\u00a0 Be realistic with workload expectations. It will be very difficult to get the team excited about embracing something new if they already feel swamped and are consistently running behind. It is important to evaluate if there is enough time, money and people to implement the change successfully. Even the most committed employees will become resistant to change if they are consistently overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p>Implementing these 5 strategies will help you cultivate positive change!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I help dental teams nationwide successfully embrace change.
