You’ve probably noticed—I’m all about putting people first. In a world full of changes, paying attention to the human side is crucial for success.
Still skeptical? A 2005 HBR article entitled ‘The Hard Side of Change Management’ showed that transformations succeed when companies care about their employees' feelings.
Remember the time when Novartis, led by CEO Jimenez, sold its OTC division to GSK in 2015? He told analysts how relieved he was to get rid of what he called a "value-dilutive" part of the company. Now, think about the employees. They were hoping for some recognition or at least a thank you for their dedication. Instead, they got a cold farewell. 😒
This should be a clear reminder: During changes, doing the "heart work" is key. Recognizing efforts, understanding emotions, and making everyone feel important is not just nice—it's essential.
🚀 Thought: Let's say goodbye to the era of ice-cold CEOs. No one should ever feel like just a number in a spreadsheet. Have you been part of a transformation where people were truly the priority? I’d love to hear your stories!
