It may be because your organisation is suffering from weak change leadership.Here are three symptoms to look out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Resistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While resistance is a normal human response to change, when entire teams are resisting it suggests their leaders aren\u2019t leading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can support these leaders by identifying the resistant behaviour, understanding the reasons for it, and coaching or partnering with the leaders to build a plan to manage the resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Change overload<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another sign to look for is change overload in teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor leaders fail to understand that they play a critical role in managing their team\u2019s capacity to take on change. High-performing leaders, by contrast, influence others around the timing, prioritisation and phasing of changes to ensure that their teams can cope with change and manage business as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/changesynergy.com.au\/change-fatigue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">change capable<\/a>&nbsp;organisation takes capacity management seriously. If this isn\u2019t in place at your organisation, you can help managers by teasing out the pressures they\u2019re under and identifying operational metrics that indicate if the team is at or over capacity. Present this to your Sponsor or Steering Committee for a discussion on prioritisation and resource allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Compliance, not commitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is tricky. While it may appear that the team is on board, when the leader is not around or when the focus moves on to something else, old behaviours return because there is no real commitment to change by the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A compliance attitude is another symptom of a leader\u2019s failure to engage the team. It could also indicate a command and control leadership style \u2013 an industrial age approach to leadership that isn\u2019t well suited to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2012\/02\/rules-for-the-social-era\">today\u2019s business environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this, you can coach managers to recognise and reward commitment to the new ways of working. A culture of recognition can powerfully influence behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can make a difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because many organisations fail to understand that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/changesynergy.com.au\/news-leadership-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leadership development is not separate from change management<\/a>, poor change leadership is all too common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that by diagnosing it early, you can coach and support your leaders to more effectively lead change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/changesynergy.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Change Synergy<\/a>&nbsp;helps organisations deliver changes quickly, efficiently, effectively and with less disruption.
