5 Ways Leaders Strengthen And Prepare Their Teams For Change

5 Ways Leaders Strengthen And Prepare Their Teams For Change Was there ever a time that was more uncertain than today? Are leaders prepared to manage change in ways that strengthen the teams around them? Leadership is about taking the initiative to do the things others would rather avoid doing ? and about allowing risk to be your best friend. Leaders make those around them better by being wise enough to anticipate the unexpected and by being accountable to take action all the way through to the end. They know how to help their teams tackle change head-on and remove the fear-factor from their minds. They do this by creating environments that embrace clarity around the issues, collaboration to produce new ideas, and strategic focus. They build solid ecosystems where thinking courageously and challenging the old ways of doing things create competitive advantage. As many companies enter 2015 in full-blown transformation mode, the value of leadership lies within the outcomes of reinventing the ways teams think, act and innovate. Leaders must become change agents and must teach their teams to do the same to assure circumstances don?t force their hand and to create and sustain the required momentum to win.
