Change
Is Like A Slinky
"Change
is a lot like a Slinky®... A Slinky® can be a lot
of fun, but it is also completely unpredictable."
Author Hans Finzel
Change
or perish. This is a current motto for leaders in all types
of organizations. But how does one adapt to such fast and
furious change and effectively lead the organization through
change intact and more effective?
Hans
Finzel provides a proven strategy in Change is Like a Slinky®,
exploring the major phases in the cycle of change.
Nine
Ways Change Is Like A Slinky...
1.
You have to take it out of the box to have fun with it.
2. It comes in many styles and colors.
3. Somebody has to launch it on its way.
4. The course it takes once it begins
is entirely unpredictable.
5. It routinely gets stuck halfway down
the stairs and has to be relaunched. Repeat as necessary.
6. It is messy, noisy and chaotic.
7. Before it is launched, it has stored
potential energy when launched, that energy force becomes
kinetic energy.
8. You really don't control it once it
begins its journey.
9. It rarely lands where you predict.
The
book, Change Is Like A Slinky®, by Hans Finzel
combined with a Slinky® featuring a company or product
logo is a great way for management to introduce change
or reinforce change.
