leading change
passive resistance in change processes
Lack of understanding
If employees do not understand why a change is necessary, they often react with rejection. Without a clear “why”, there is a lack of willingness to actively support the change.
Lack of communication
If the reasons for and objectives of a change are not communicated clearly and comprehensibly, uncertainty arises. And uncertainty leads to employees distancing themselves or blocking change.
Loss of trust in leadership
If previous changes have failed or the leadership itself seems unconvinced, trust dwindles. Without trust, there is no motivation to actively participate in the change.
Lack of participation
People want to help shape things. If changes are only imposed from above, employees feel ignored. The feeling of powerlessness often leads to passive resistance.
Fear of loss
The fear of losing status, influence or skills is a strong driver of resistance. Anyone who fears losing value as a result of the change is more likely to block it than support it.

The eight point plan for a successful change management
Emotions as a starting point for stability
Insecurity and resistance are normal. Open discussions about fears and hopes help to remove blockages and release constructive energy.
Communication as the basis for trust
Transparent, timely and consistent communication creates orientation and security – and prevents rumors.
Strengthening change competence and leadership
Well-prepared managers are crucial. Training in resilience, active listening and emotional intelligence makes all the difference.
Actively involve employees
Change can only succeed if everyone is on board. E-learning and practical tools strengthen self-efficacy and actively involve the workforce.
Creating structures for change
A change management office and “change ambassadors” coordinate the process, collect feedback and dynamically adapt strategies.
Define strategic realignment
A clear vision with defined projects and guidelines provides orientation and creates a stable foundation for the future.
Offering individual support
Individual coaching sessions and team support help to overcome emotional stress and master individual challenges.
Creating a dignified closure
respectful closure leaves positive memories and allows everyone involved to make a new start with dignity.
Socrates
The secret of change is to focus on all our energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.

Recognition, Acceptance, Action
Recognition
The process of change begins with the realization – through self-reflection or an event that shows that a situation does not correspond to our wishes. Accepting it is unpleasant, but it is the first step towards improvement.
Acceptance
The step of acceptance can be emotionally challenging, but acceptance does not mean condemnation, it means taking responsibility and actively looking for solutions.
Action
After realization and acceptance comes action. Establishing new habits, making courageous decisions – this requires perseverance, but is the key to success.

How do I find love for my job?
Recognizing the right direction
The first step is to make a clear decision: Where do we really want to go? Coaching helps you to find clarity and define your own direction.
Finding the right destination
Now it’s about recognizing our strengths and finding out where we can make the best use of them – this is the only way to find the destination that fulfils us.
The strategic path to the ideal position
One goal alone is not enough. We need a clear plan and the right resources to achieve our ideal position.
