Which lenses are we using to perceive our organization? Under what paradigm are we running our company, our area, our role? What are we actually conveying when we communicate with our team, our customers, suppliers, etc.?
In order to join the wave of changes, incorporating new information systems, new leaders and / or advisors that drive us to transformation processes, but sometimes we are left in the attempt … What may be happening in these cases? One of the possible root causes that makes it difficult for us to move in this direction, besides the willing to change, deep down we are clinging to the known, to sustain the usual way of acting, and we continue to look, think and do the same things we have been doing. We are only incorporating new forms that begin to bother us when some noises are generated in our daily maneuver since it is not easy to release some apprehended habits that were functional some time ago.
It is here, where we have observed the choice of alternative paths with dissimilar results. On the one hand, to continue with the intention of changing and advancing to incorporate the same with a high cost, with difficulties to achieve an appropriation and integration towards the current culture. All of these moves generate more noise and greater setbacks; and even an early cut of the process….
On the other hand, we can face the uncertainty generated internally by the change from the head of the organization, and openly lay the cards on the table. We can open fully and humbly accept that the first change starts from the top down. To then adopt and integrate this new belief inside the team, and actively work with our mates in the alignment of our processes, teams and seek for new results.
Our way of seeing, believing, thinking and feeling the organization then translates into our actions as managers. That is why, when we talk about organizational paradigms, it is necessary to consciously review from where we are looking and that we are really willing to review, accept and truly change before introducing transcendental movements in our organization.
