The Challenges of Change: Mastering the Art of Transformation
Organizational transformation is often stalled by the very people you’re trying to help. When faced with change, people commonly express the following concerns or objections:
-
But we’ve always done it this way.
-
This is going to be too difficult.
-
I don’t have the time or resources.
-
I don’t trust that it will be successful.
-
Why fix something that isn’t broken?
It’s important to note that these concerns and objections are natural and normal reactions to change, and it’s the job of leaders and change managers to understand, address, and mitigate these objections.
-
People defy change… because it’s challenging
-
People desire to understand why… because change is a process
-
People disregard leadership… because change starts with an individual

The Five Stages of Change:
1. Pre-Contemplation
The first stage of change is characterized by a lack of recognition of a problem. In this stage, individuals are unaware that their behavior is an issue. Despite others pointing out the need for change, they do not see it as such and have no plans to make any changes soon. This stage is a common starting point for many people.
2. Contemplation
The second stage of change is where the individual recognizes the problem but is indecisive about making a change. The individual perceives both the benefits and drawbacks of change as balanced, leading to no firm commitment to change. They may be pondering the idea of change in the near future, but are not yet ready to take action. This stage of ambivalence can last for extended periods of time.
3. Preparation
The third stage of change is where an individual is ready to commit to change and is actively working towards it. They have a clear intention of taking action within the next month and may have already started making small changes in their behavior, such as reducing harmful actions. The individual is now on the verge of taking significant steps towards change.
4. Action
The fourth stage of the change process is where individuals actively work to change their problematic behavior. In this stage, their commitment to change is strong and the change is driven by their own intent rather than external factors. The action stage typically lasts around 6 months as they work to make the behavior changes permanent.
5. Maintenance
In the final stage of change individuals work to sustain their behavioral change permanently. The focus is on actively avoiding a return to old behaviors and embedding the changes into their daily lives. In this stage, individuals develop the skills needed to maintain their changes through different circumstances and events.

The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire™ (also known as MLQ) which measures a broad range of leadership types from passive leaders to leaders who give contingent rewards to followers, to leaders who transform their followers into becoming leaders themselves. The MLQ identifies the characteristics of a transformation leader and helps individuals discover how they measure up in their own eyes and in the eyes of those with whom they work. Success can be measured through a retesting program to track changes in leadership styles.
