class=\"sticky-content-sidebar__content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"body-content\"><p>If you\u2019ve ever read or seen Peter Pan, then you\u2019ve gotten a glimpse into life in Neverland. We learn, for example, that \u201c[fairies] look tremendously busy\u2026 as if they had not a moment to spare, but if you were to ask them what they are doing, they could not tell you in the least.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That \u201clook tremendously busy\u201d behaviour might actually sound a little on the nose for some of us thinking back to our first jobs. You know\u2026watching the clock and doing one\u2019s best to appear far too overloaded with existing tasks to be given an assignment that would see us stuck at the desk past quitting time.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Pan also informed us that \u201cevery time a child says \u2018I don\u2019t believe in fairies\u2019 there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.\u201d That\u2019s pretty grim imagery, but you\u2019ll not find a better example of the importance of buy-in to a belief system. And it\u2019s an important thing to remember as businesses and organizations take on the challenge of implementing behavioural change. If all the members of your team aren\u2019t interested in making something happen it probably won\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p>That businesses and organizations need to always be looking and moving forward is a pretty well-established truth; organizations that don\u2019t evolve just don\u2019t last. Over the past few years, our ideas about the nature of the workplace \u2013 what it is and even where it is \u2013 have been changing rapidly. Good leaders will have identified the need to respond to these changes and be working toward implementing strategies that lead to a more inclusive, resilient and flexible workforce.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is a deep-set part of human nature that we can sometimes feel uncomfortable with change. For thousands of years, humans have sought out patterns to help us navigate the challenges of staying alive. We track the seasons, learn which plants are and are not edible, figure out which coffee shops have the best WiFi, and so on and so on. We rely on and become comfortable with the patterns of our lives and can feel upset or anxious at the thought of disruption.<\/p>\n<p>That is no less true in the workplace; we can get locked into how we work, what kind of work we do and how we interact with our coworkers. In fact, some people might hold onto workplace patterns even more aggressively than they might the other patterns of their life. So, they might be very willing to change their diet or learn how to play the flugelhorn but they\u2019ll be incredibly resistant to restructuring their team or adopting new performance metrics. This is because work is so vital to all the other aspects of their life, and many can fear that change will make them obsolete or that they will suddenly no longer be considered good at their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more we face change the more we hang on to the things that bring us comfort,\u201d explains a spokesperson from Talking Talent. \u201cTo drive transformational change we need to accept discomfort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Effective change requires buy-in at all levels, but, of course, it all starts at the top. If an organization\u2019s leadership doesn\u2019t have its heart in a task, if it refuses to believe in the fairies of change, it\u2019s almost certainly doomed to fail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeaders take their people with them,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd leaders need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, supervisors and line managers also need to be on board, in step with leadership in terms of what the goals of the organization are and how to implement them. Here are some suggestions on how to make that happen:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feeling valued encourages participation<\/strong>. Each member of a team should be made to feel that they have something unique to offer \u2013 that they are relevant and necessary. Change happens one person at a time, so it\u2019s vital that each person feels connected to the change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This actually means something<\/strong>. A key facet of accomplishing change is making sure that everyone understands that what they are doing is important and that they have an important role to play in making it happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gut reaction is not always the best reaction<\/strong>. It\u2019s important to acknowledge, or at least be alert to, all the feelings of discomfort that change might bring. As such, it\u2019s important to encourage all members of a team to keep an open mind and not make snap\/emotional judgments about the changes being suggested or implemented. They might feel uncomfortable at first but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re wrong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t give up<\/strong>. Change is hard, not everyone will love it right away, there\u2019s a good chance you won\u2019t get it exactly right and change doesn\u2019t stop happening. Once you\u2019ve addressed today\u2019s challenges tomorrow will deliver new ones. But change is worth the effort.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Pan said that the moment you doubt whether you can fly you cease to be able to do it. The process of implementing change is a little easier than that, but requires no less dedication.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to help lead meaningful change in your organisation? <a
