Abstract: | Based on large-scale surveys, the authors explore the psychodynamics of the individual engaged in change, and translate them to organizational transformation. Given the reality of power dynamics, it is the corporate leaders who are best placed to start and subsequently develop the change process. It is suggested that a staged 'focal event' and changing the corporate mindset can greatly speed up the process. Also, companies can learn that there are certain primary factors which make it easier for individuals to manage change. A major conclusion is that organizations which foster 'constructive conflict' among their people will be in the best position to align with a continuously changing environment. |
