How do we accomplish 'Active' change? Successful change management demands the commitment and participation of those involved. Change management provides a framework for leading people. If we really want change, we have to think in terms of a combination of change tools for the organization and individual change models. This is because culture always wins over structure and practices always win over plans. This is why so many projects run out of control.
Change often entails new working conditions, new goals and changes in management. Consequently resistance arises.
Successful managers are familiar with the company culture. These people know which direction to take and they ensure that goals are accomplished. They know what is happening in the company and they know what is happening in the broader perspective. Such leaders build up an organization with unique values, perceptions, conduct, symbols, roles, models and rituals. All these components result in a creative, innovative and successful operation and business. The primary task is to achieve harmony between vision, goal and culture.
Changing the culture of an organization is a big challenge, a time consuming process, demanding a good deal of courage. It is up to the leaders of the organization to take control of this change process.
