Description
Develop an action plan for improving your own change management capabilities. We set out a six-step approach to personal development.
First, do you still want this job, knowing how challenging and stressful it is, and what kinds of attributes contribute to success?
Second, do you need to consider your personal positioning with regard to the depth of the change initiatives for which you are responsible or with which you are associated? Deeper changes can be more risky, but they offer greater opportunities for personal development.
Third, make sure that you are comfortable with the political dimension of the role and follow the guidelines for developing political skill—if you feel this is relevant with regard to your current and future change management roles.
Fourth, identify your strengths as a change manager and determine how to maintain those capabilities.
Fifth, identify gaps in your capability profile and decide whether or not it is possible and desirable to address those—or to delegate those aspects of your change management role to other team members.
Finally, develop a practical action plan to build on your strengths, recognize and manage allowable weaknesses, and address the gaps in your profile with further development.
