Book excerpt: Help your leaders master the human side of change. Change and transition -- in most of today's organizations, theyare unexpected and frequent, monumental in scope, relentless, andincreasingly complex. Flux has become the natural state of mostorganizations. Many leaders are skilled at effecting and respondingto the structural side of change: creating a vision, reorganizing,and restructuring. But it is rare that they have mastered theskills to constructively manage the human side of change: grieving,letting go, building hope, and learning. The Leading Through Transitions Facilitator's Guideprovides the information and tools facilitators need to conduct aneffective program that helps participants gain a deep understandingof the need to balance the dynamic tension between six pairs ofseemingly paradoxical leadership attributes related to managingchange: Being tough while simultaneously expressing appropriateempathy. Catalyzing change while understanding transition. Expressing a sense of urgency while retaining the capacity forrealistic patience. Being self-reliant yet trusting others. Radiating both optimism and realism. Capitalizing on strengths while fostering the capacity to goagainst the grain. This comprehensive package includes background information onleading with authenticity in times of transition and introduces theAuthentic Leadership Paradox Wheel. It provides detailedinstructions for preparing and following up after one-day andtwo-day workshops and scripts for workshop delivery. The packagealso includes the two sample Participant Workbooks, a Wheel Poster,a Wheel Handout, and a flash drive that contains an electronic copyof this Facilitator's Guide, workshop agendas, and supportingPowerPoint slides.
