One of the most important things I learned from leading a restructure many year ago, was to communicate, communicate, communicate. And when you have nothing to say; communicate some more. Don’t leave people without any news. I mean, who really interprets no news as good news??
One of the most important things I learned from leading a restructure many year ago, was to communicate, communicate, communicate. And when you have nothing to say; communicate some more. Join me as I share with you my experience and five recommendations for good communication and transparency when you’re dealing with big changes that impact lots of people.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how you leave an organisation lately. Probably because I’ll be leaving mine soon. Over the last 6-8 months I’ve been watching people leave my organisation and head on to their next big adventure. It’s prompted me to think about all of the different endings people have had or created for themselves, across my 25 years in work. So, join me on a journey out the door!
In my 25 years in the world of work I’ve seen lots of people come and go. The journey people take out of the door is not always the same. Some strut out of the front door with a bouquet and a big smile. Some fling the door open, breathe a big sigh of relief and never look back. Some choose to slink out of the back door, hoping that no-one notices. And some are walked around the lake, never to be seen again. Join me as I reminisce and share my experiences of saying farewell, goodbye and toodle-oo!
