W
hen large-scale organizational change occurs, the human side of that
change rarely gets factored into the equation. Nevertheless, during
mergers, reorganizations, downsizes, or shifts in strategy or leadership, it almost
always becomes clear that leaders at multiple levels of the organization need
help to be successful in their new circumstances. Typically, those leaders do not
run into trouble over tactical issues such as implementing the new strategy or
reconfiguring roles and responsibilities. Either they ’re skillful at managing those
complicated challenges themselves, or they have consultants with the right
expertise to back them up. Instead, the guidance they truly do need is in letting
go of the old ways of doing things, while undergoing a psychological reorientation
to focus on the new way.
