What attitudes should we adopt as a manager?

00:00:10

Here are 3 tips that will make all the difference.

00:00:14

Share,

00:00:14

co-construct and act.

00:00:17

Share by listening and expressing yourself in

00:00:19

the middle of the transformation process.

00:00:22

Co-construct in project mode your department's

00:00:25

implementation of the decided change.

00:00:28

And finally,

00:00:29

make sure to involve your employees in the action.

00:00:33

Sharing means talking,

00:00:34

letting others talk,

00:00:35

listening and questioning.

00:00:38

Even if there seems to be nothing to say or nothing new to say,

00:00:41

whatever little information you have,

00:00:43

repeat it on a loop if you have to.

00:00:46

Whatever time it takes for everybody to be aware of the inevitability of change.

00:00:52

A change is a revolution which requires appropriation through words.

00:00:57

Don't run away from your employees who come to you for more information.

00:01:01

Don't feel embarrassed if you don't have any information.

00:01:04

Repeat what you know.

00:01:06

Listen to your employees,

00:01:08

get them to talk about the reasons behind their questions,

00:01:11

about their real questions,

00:01:13

about their fears,

00:01:15

about their hopes,

00:01:16

near back the questions they have.

00:01:19

What do you think the impact on the department might be?

00:01:23

In your opinion,

00:01:24

what could be the new tool we will be entrusted with?

00:01:27

While change is being implemented,

00:01:29

always be in a sharing mindset.

00:01:32

How's it going for you?

00:01:33

What's the impact on your files?

00:01:35

How do you plan to implement such a change?

00:01:38

And also,

00:01:39

above all,

00:01:40

share about your current projects,

00:01:42

which we sometimes tend to forget or put aside when we're in the middle of change,

00:01:47

waiting for answers about the future.

00:01:49

During the construction work,

00:01:51

the store remains open.

00:01:53

Help your employees stay focused on what's already there,

00:01:56

real,

00:01:56

to be done when the future is still a big question mark.

00:02:01

Change requires an increased presence.

00:02:03

It will take courage to breathe energy and

00:02:06

stay the course when change often brings waves,

00:02:09

fog,

00:02:10

crosswinds,

00:02:11

and headwinds.

00:02:12

Above all,

00:02:13

you will need a real skill of presence and

00:02:16

listening without taking away the autonomy of the teams.

00:02:20

Second piece of advice,

00:02:21

co-construct.

00:02:23

You won't be able to hold your employees together if you don't work together.

00:02:27

You will drown if you have to swim alone in the waves

00:02:31

to make sure that each employee scattered at sea is well.

00:02:35

They say that in difficult times you must stick together,

00:02:39

and that is how you manage to weather the storm.

00:02:41

It's the same for change,

00:02:43

you can't be the only piece that will stabilize the whole machine.

00:02:47

You'll end up exhausted.

00:02:49

Make a common boat,

00:02:50

make sure the floor is shared in meetings between each other.

00:02:54

Let the purge of fears and anger that change often brings.

00:02:58

Let this purge happen.

00:03:00

Then have them identify the right attitude and strategies for success

00:03:05

together.

00:03:06

Feel free to work in project mode on small and large changes.

00:03:11

Set up working groups around the sub themes of change.

00:03:14

A working group for the redistribution of tasks of such and

00:03:18

such employee on a temporary contract which will not be renewed,

00:03:23

a working group for the change of tools.

00:03:26

A working group on the new customer approach.

00:03:29

The team will not sink if it's together on the same boat.

00:03:33

The team will go much further if it puts the course of change on the same boat.

00:03:38

Team cohesion is essential to change because

00:03:40

it will be the cement of co-construction.

00:03:44

If an announcement of change is made and you don't know how to anticipate it,

00:03:48

make cohesion a priority.

00:03:50

Maximize teamwork,

00:03:52

establish a culture of co-construction.

00:03:55

Third tip for accompanying change,

00:03:57

action.

00:03:58

Bruno Jerison distinguishes three types of levers for change.

00:04:03

The authority he calls the kick in the butt theory,

00:04:06

which is effective in short term if you're the strongest,

00:04:09

but has harmful consequences.

00:04:12

The persuasion that works if you're someone who inspires trust,

00:04:16

but is not guaranteed because some are not

00:04:18

so malleable and even sometimes resist persuasion.

00:04:22

Finally,

00:04:23

the action,

00:04:24

which is the optimal lever according to Gerrison.

00:04:27

According to him,

00:04:28

it's not necessary to get approval to produce change.

00:04:31

Initiating action is enough.

00:04:34

According to him,

00:04:35

it's more effective to put people to work than to try to convince them through words.

00:04:40

Therefore,

00:04:40

when dealing with teams going through change,

00:04:43

one of the key questions at the end of the interview and meeting

00:04:47

will be to determine the action plan.

00:04:50

What actions can we implement now?

00:04:53

As a reminder,

00:04:54

here are 3 tips that will allow you to best accompany teams through change,

00:04:59

sharing,

00:05:00

co-construction,

00:05:01

and action.
