Change is usually put off until it just can’t be avoided any longer. There is a tendency to let things get as bad as they could possibly get before feeling forced to implement different strategies.
I would like to give you a few symptoms evident in people and the workplace that might be warning signs that the need for change is sneaking up on you:
For you and your staff:
– easily frustrated with people or minor issues
– feeling increased pressure from upper management
– avoiding situations whenever possible
– feeling exhausted from fixing others, problems and situations
– seeming like the “referee” most of the time
– feeling time strapped with endless issues and conflict
– feeling stress that australian online pokies did not use to be present under normal conditions
For your company:
– an increase in sick days taken
– turnover numbers on the rise
– a general sense of tension in the air (but without an obvious cause)
– lower morale that hinders interest and willingness
– lack of social interaction or stories of fun
– enthusiasm is gone and “feels like a job”
– sales, production and profits are variable and not hitting targets
– an endless list of meetings with little productivity or change coming out of them
