We are living in a world where constant change is a reality. We are living in a VUCA world.
The VUCA World (Acronym)
Volatility – The nature, speed, volume, magnitude, and dynamics of change.
Uncertainty – The lack of predictability of issues and events.
Complexity – The confounding of issues and the chaos that surrounds any organisation.
Ambiguity.-.The haziness of reality and the mixed meanings of conditions.
What VUCA really means for you is that it is becoming a trendy managerial acronym, where in reality VUCA leads to constant CHANGE.
According to McKinsey & Company – “70% of change efforts fail, largely and due to employee resistance and lack of management support”
Change Readiness is our capacity to navigate and lead well through uncertainty.
This is a very valuable (and much needed) skill for leaders who want to inspire, motivate and engage others through the change journey.
Change efforts are destined to hit trouble unless people are taken into consideration first.
Change and Success Factors
AGILE Leadership Framework
The SEI LTC equips you to answer essential questions:
- What skills are required to navigate and lead well through change?
- Where are you now?
- How can you leverage your emotional intelligence to be more Change Ready as a leader?
According to Alison Lalieu the main developer of the SEI LTC solves the following problems:
Change initiatives are destined to hit turbulence if the people involved are not Change Ready. This report measures the Change Readiness of a person – a vital piece of information to raise awareness around how that person is likely to navigate and lead through the uncertainty of change.
Having a clearer understanding of Change Readiness provides valuable insight around the need to better understand change, and the importance of growing EQ competence to energize change.
Change Readiness is positioned as a Success Factor. As our EQ competence grows, we see outcomes in our life, such as healthier relationships and greater effectiveness. We are also better equipped to lead ourselves and others through times of uncertainty.
Integrating the Change MAP into the report helps clients to better understand and appreciate the importance of EQ in fueling positive change.
The leadership behavior descriptors within the AGILE Leadership Framework provide the leader with a set of ‘guidelines’ for high EQ leadership – a kind of ‘benchmark’ for them to recognize what they are doing well, and areas for them to work on.
