101 Dealing With Change

If there’s one thing you can count on given the current economy, it’s that you can’t count on much. Smart managers are ready for anything. But dealing with change can be disconcerting, to say the least.

Here are five tips from SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives) on how to prepare for change.

1. Examine your corporate culture to discover any impediments to change. Some traditions and practices may need to be revamped to meet new needs.

2. Keep talking about change so that employees think in terms of change and help make it happen.

3. Make expectations clear. Key employees should know that embracing change is part of their responsibility.

4. Monitor company procedures and systems to be sure they support change.

5. Plan far ahead for the biggest change of all: your retirement or exit from the company. Develop new leadership.
