Driving Positive Change

Our window of perception sets our attitude for change and that attitude will determine the speed and success of the change.
Perception => Attitude => Speed/Success of change
The more positive experiences we have with change, the more positive our attitude toward change and the faster any change will be made.

So, the question is:
How can we make change a positive experience?
And, the answer is:
Maintain structured, dependable and open communication.

Successful change in the workplace has to combat a lifetime of good or bad experiences that make up the perceptions of each individual involved in the change. Personally, I change cautiously, often belaboring the options and possible outcomes. The key to each successful change has been a structured, dependable, and open communication connection to a supportive source. Whether the change was personal, professional, or organizational, success was assured when I -
1. set a structured communication plan,
2. knew I could depend on the communication being honest
3. had the opportunity to express my thoughts, concerns and successes
Professional and organizational change is often team driven. Personal change is a different challenge because effective change ALWAYS begins within. While some of us are slow off the starting block we have developed a positive perception of change that drives us to the finish line.
