  • The Effects of Change On The Manager - Free Articles

     One of the least mentioned effects of change relates to how it affects the manager leading that change, and his or her ability to undertake the leadership role.

Some types of change, such as restructuring, or downsizing can put considerable strain on the leaders of an organization.

     We generally do not look at conflict as opportunity -- we tend to think about conflict as unpleasant, counter-productive and time-consuming. Conflict that occurs in organizations need not be destructive, provided the energy associated with conflict is harnessed and directed towards problem-solving and organizational improvement. However, managing conflict effectively requires that all parties understand the nature of conflict in the workplace.

  • Look Over Yonder Wall - Managing Change

     An organization's ability to deal with drastic negative change will depend primarily on the degree to which management has demonstrated its competence in the past. If management has fostered a sense of trust and credibility, has communicated effectively, and has demonstrated effective planning and decision making skills, the change adjustment period will be shortened, and the organization will have a much easier time of normalizing what it does after the change implementation. If these and other components are not in place before major change, there is going to one heck of a bumpy ride.
