Influencing others

A big part of change is the ability to influence others, as resistance plays a big factor in the change curve. When you know the team members of your change project well, it will help you negotiate and convince them with the original reason for change and thus gain their trust.

Coaching skills

You can’t assume that everybody in the company will understand your change mission. Hence, meetings like awareness sessions, in-house training and one-to-one mentoring will be needed to deliver your message.

Strategic thinking and judgmentManage Consent

It is not recommended to jump into conclusions and rush into decisions while you are a change manager. You must be able to think ahead and weigh the consequences of your actions.

Putting on a project manager’s hat while working on your change initiative will help strengthen your case and identify the problem while proposing a solution.

Self-management

Along with your ability to manage your team, you will have to manage yourself as well. What we mean by this is being able to take initiative, organise your time/workload and take accountability for your actions. In addition to these, you must also be able to control your emotions and be tolerant and confident.

Summary

As we mentioned before, change isn’t easy. It takes a lot of momentum, resilience and persistence. Being a change manager means you will need to sell the change to the individuals around you, your stakeholders, your team members, the project and the whole organisation, and eventually yourself.Functional

Once you enter the change zone, you will have to commit to it to the very end. Thus, preparation is key to your success!

To be fully ready and equipped for your journey as a change manager, a good start is to enrol on a 3-day Change Management Foundation course, or a 5-day
