Reflective Questions:
- When implementing a change, how much of your time do you spend trying to win over resistant or disengaged colleagues? Do you dedicate enough time to the "Initiators" and "Adaptors" in your team?
- How effectively do you use emotion when attempting to communicate change? Do you rely too heavily on logical arguments to make your case?
- How well do you manage your energy when initiating change in your organization? What can you do to avoid the risk of burnout?
