Leadership Lesson: Savvy Pointers When Communicating Organizational Change

August 25, 2022 by Lisa Mininni Leave a Comment


If there is one thing that is constant today, it is that the business landscape is in perpetual state of flux. Some changes can be more jarring than others, like laying off a percentage of your workforce, the passing of a key employee, or the unexpected resignation of multiple employees at the same time.

As a leader, it’s important to know one key element about powerfully navigating unexpected change. Unanticipated changes will amplify human wiring for various underlying reasons. It’s important to understand human wiring so that when you’re communicating organizational change, you satisfy the natural needs that get amplified during uncertainty.

The reality is everyone’s unique mix of wiring is distinct. As a leader, you can skillfully and artfully navigate any kind of change with greater ease when you keep wiring in mind.

Your human wiring is something you’re born with and dictates the type of environment in which you’re best equipped to thrive and succeed and the kind of environment you prefer to live and work. With the knowledge of someone’s wiring, you can recognize and appreciate what matters to them and how they need to receive their communication.

There will be individuals naturally wired to:

1. Put their thumbprint on the change. They will be concerned with how the change effects them and the results or outcomes of the change. Is there a way put them on a team that rolls out the changes so they are part of the planning process?

2. Others will want to be able to ask questions or voice their concerns. Is there a way to give them an opportunity to invite questions? Depending on the change being implemented, it might be helpful to have a phone number they can call so they can talk through any questions or concerns.

3. Still others want to know the next steps and nurture those impacted by the change. Adding something as simple as stages of the rollout to your communication could satisfy individuals who innately need to know the sequence of events.

4. Individuals wired for certainty want to know the who, what, where and whys of the change. If there are a number of unknowns, let them know you will be following up with them as soon as you know. To keep their trust, make sure to follow up on the date you promised to follow up.

As a leader, how you show up and address each of these wiring needs can mean the difference between a PR nightmare or causing your team to skillfully navigate the change with grace. The words you choose, the methods of conveying the messages, and the pace at which you implement matter in effectively moving your organization ahead.

Different situations require different tools. When you increase your personal awareness of human wiring, you increase your communication effectiveness and lead with grace and ease regardless of the circumstances.

Independence Day and Extraordinary Leaders

June 30, 2022 by Lisa Mininni Leave a Comment

Independence Day is commonly associated with freedom, fireworks, fun, and family. As I reflect on this important day for the United States, I am wonderstruck by the incredible courage it took to become an independent nation.

As I reflect on the skills the founding fathers must have had, I can’t help but wonder the skills necessary to lead in our post-pandemic world.

In next week’s vlog, I’ll be sharing this quote:

“The skill of the extraordinary leader will be to learn proactively, unlearn rapidly, and relearn newly.”

Let me know your thoughts about this quote. Agree? Disagree? What skills will be necessary as we navigate the post-pandemic world? I look forward to your perspective.

Have a wonderfully restful holiday weekend!

Lisa

Wait! What? Bored in Your Business?

October 15, 2015 by Lisa Mininni Leave a Comment


bored in your businessWhen you are bored in your business, it’s rarely because there’s nothing interesting to do. It’s likely that you told yourself there’s nothing interesting left to do.

While on a call with my Excellerate Success Institute clients, we explored the 12 top fears of an entrepreneur. One of interesting subsets we reflected on, boredom, came while covering the fear of success.

How is it that boredom comes from fear of success? Boredom can be an excuse to give up or move on keeping you from the success you deeply desire.
Have you considered that you may not have fully explored the full contribution you can make through the work you do?

If you’re feeling bored in your business, remind yourself of the exciting times in your business. List specifically what was exciting for you.

Once you have your list, ask yourself: What are things you haven’t completed in your field of expertise that would be exciting?

When you ask yourself a question, your brain searches for an answer. This process taps into your creative side.

While you’re tapping into your creative side, consider the “and” solution. This is a concept in my book Me, Myself, and Why.

Here’s how it works. Most of the time, you may look at this “or” that. Instead, ask yourself:

• What concepts products or services you could be combined to create something that has never been done in your area of expertise?

• What new ways could you deliver your services? Even though you may deliver your services in person perhaps you could expand your reach by delivering your services online, too.

• What existing product or service could you connect? This may include tapping into a product or service that is complementary. You may partner with a referral source that would be a natural source to generate leads.

When you take responsibility for finding an answer, you start opening up the creative space for new, exciting ideas. Try it and watch what shows up.
