THE IMPORTANCE OF TEAMWORK TO BUSINESS CHANGE – Leadership – Organization
For Leaders, the research found there are four key processes they will need to pass through in order to navigate the support a significant organisational change. These four are:

1) Understanding the scope of a project. For leaders, this means taking the time to understand the changes that are afoot within an organisation and also set the priorities that will guide this change.

2) Deciding on a course for the changes that are occurring and mapping how each aspect of an organisation will be affected.

3) Begin to implement the change process. This requires focussing on who is most affected by new business processes and requires leaders to focus on these individuals if they want this process to progress smoothly.

4) Adjust course where necessary. The final step for an organisation that is undertaking the change process will need to be evaluating the process and adjusting as required. Leaders also need to have the skills to identify which developments have not been effectively implemented and revise any initiatives that aren’t holding their weight.

As leaders look to address these changes to an organisation, understanding how their own position can affect organisational performance will be an essential factor in the long-term success of an initiative.
