Emotions Not Logic, Impel New Behaviors In Organizations: Transformation

People, Organization and Strategic Change Consultants

Our research based on interviews with hundreds of executives of Fortune 1000 type companies worldwide revealed that it is not the complexity of the business strategy, a lack of buy-in from top management, high cost or the failure to create stakeholder value that derails projects or the execution of plans.
The single biggest challenge in managing change is simply getting people to demonstrate new behaviors - change their behaviors.
The lesson learned is that when people do change their behaviors in organization settings, it is rarely because they were offered a logical analysis that shifts their thinking but because they experience a compelling truth that influences their feelings.
Emotions are what trigger action to behave in the different and often difficult ways that substantial change demands.
Among the processes that are at the heart of every successful change:
- Seeing what the problems and outcomes are
- Feeling an urgency to solve or achieve them
- Being emotionally compelled to act
With management leadership our strategy and change consultants can help drive transformation, enhance competitiveness and create economic value.
