The people component of change identifies a persons behaviors and attitudes toward change and encompasses three perspectives.

     

Through assessment, we determine a person's "style" which, when aggregated, presents an overall profile of the target audience.  Categorized by those who:

Drive Change

Enable Change

Are Hesitant Toward Change

Resist Change

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Within each of these "styles", we further identify unique "groups" or clusters.  For each "group" we have identified key characteristics of behavior, including :

What they are skilled at

What they have difficulties with

How they will contribute

What their needs are

How they will behave when their needs are not met

      

 

Resist – R-2   There are 391 participants with this type. 

 

Skilled At:

Dealing with the people component of change.

Providing organization and structure.

 

 

 

Difficulties With:

Of all the types, R-2s experience the most difficulty with change.  Their primary focus is using their accumulated data, especially about people, as a base of understanding and acting.  In changing situations in which they do not have experience, they can feel lost and overwhelmed.  

 

Use change as a protective maneuver, rather than changing for the sake of change.  Because of their commitment to people, they also identify and empathize with everyone around them.  R-2s need lots of information and support to deal effectively with change.

 

Contribution:

Organize the plan. 

 

Support people.

 

Needs:

A well-thought-out plan with lots of pieces.

 

Assurances that people needs are being considered.

 

When Needs Are Not Met:

Overwhelmed, lost, and rigid.

 

Romanticize “the good old days.”

 

          

For each "group" we have developed suggestions when communicating, including:

What to do

What not to do

What's effective

What's not

This information is imperative in developing and executing an effective communication and fan-out plan.  

         

 

R-2 – There are 391 participants with this type. 

 

Suggestions when communicating with R-2s:

 

The underlying theme when communicating with R-2s should be relationships, harmony, and service.

 

Give advance warning of the need to address an issue, rather than springing a surprise.

 

Do not force R-2s to take action—allow them time to think.  Do not interpret R-2s’ silence as agreement, they may still be deciding.

 

Remember their feelings and personal values when giving them feedback; try to debate with them less.

 

Share your thoughts and ideas with them more, even if they seem obvious.  Praise and acknowledge their contributions and talents.

 

Communicate to them clear, unambiguous directions for completing a task and prepare them for change in advance.

 

Remember to address schedules and deadlines during communication.
