'Successful Change'is about the effective

![Page 3: Practical tips for managing change](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061215/549ea29ab4795960208b47a8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
When should the change start to be implemented and when should the process end?
What are the success criteria?
Who are all the stakeholders?
How will it impact on them?
What will the change look, feel & sound like for them?
Tip 1 – Start with the end in mind
![Page 4: Practical tips for managing change](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061215/549ea29ab4795960208b47a8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Tip 2 – Sell the change!
Address the “what's in it for me?” group ...
Appeal to their particular motivation style …
E.g. Are they more energised & enthused by their goals, or are they more motivated by solving problems?
(Towards & Away From Motivation styles)
What are the benefits?- to pupils- to parents- to staff- to the school - to governors- to the community
Ask staff to come up with their own too!

Tip 3 – Allay any fears
Objections / fears:
- they are perceiving the change as taking them beyond their normal skill set
- the change is putting them in their 'panic zone'
- they perceive the change as meaning lots of extra work
What else?
Actions
Discuss different options towards achieving the change outcome
Help them create early 'wins' – things they can achieve

Tip 4 – Identify your network of influencers
First: Who often supports your vision / ideas?
Second: Who sits nodding whilst you're describing the change and its benefits?
Third: Who are your most sociable / talkative supporters? Who is good at building rapport?
Don't limit it to teaching staff!
These are your supporters (or potential supporters)
Get them on board!

Tip 5 – Maintain positivity and assertiveness
Keep reminding staff / yourself of the benefits!
Remember your glass is half-full!
Assertiveness is more about “I ...” language than “you ...”
Assertiveness is about respecting their point of view, but valuing and sticking to your own
“Thanks for updating me on this … I appreciate it can be (uncomfortable / difficult / time consuming)... let's focus on what's possible to achieve over the next couple of weeks, and what further support I can offer you. I'm still confident this change is the best thing for the children / school...”
