Drum roll, please!
YOur leadership style is…
The Sponsor
You take a people first approach to leading and landing organisational change. No one understands the power of building capability and the epic potential of human capital like you do.
Your superpower is a knack for really listening to the employee voice and stakeholders. Above all else, you prioritise providing them with the right support and resources. Under your leadership, folks impacted by the change feel heard, cared for, and trust that you will provide them with the tools they need to succeed. You find ways to help people balance day-to-day pressures AND growth. As a change leader, you know organisational transformation doesn’t happen without engaged, capable employees. It’s one thing to have a vision for how things could be, but it’s another to bring it to life. Luckily this is where you excel!
Keeping the change agenda top of mind with the senior leadership team, advocating for the needs of employees and securing resources, is how you crush it and deliver. You’re an activator who enables change by realising human potential and building high-performing teams. You know that transformation happens when people feel safe, heard and supported.
Your unique strengths:
Listening and uncovering the needs of stakeholders
Activator and adaptive, you’re motivated, like to muck in and deliver quickly (your colleagues love this about you!)
Problem solver who spots practical ways to respond to problems and opportunities
But beware…
All the resources and support you provide can overwhelm stakeholders and leave them feeling like changing to the new way will take a lot of focused time and effort. Don’t forget to create opportunities to build desire. Brainstorm ways to build motivation and get people excited about the transformation - that way folks will be chomping at the bit to build their capability.
To take your change leadership to the next level:
Implement a communication campaign designed to get employees excited about the transformation
Create experiences for people that deliver quick wins
Communicate how the changes align with your overarching organisational values and purpose
Before we go any further, let me introduce myself...
After 20+ years supporting organisational transformations, I know that great communication is the key to embedding change initiatives and unleashing the full potential of employees and partners to do extraordinary things. Time in the trenches has taught me that the best change communications are always a mixture of well-crafted strategy, impactful creative, disciplined execution, and compelling storytelling to draw people in and inspire them to action.
I hope you enjoyed discovering your Change Leadership Style!
