In general, organizational change is very important for the business
and company to alter a major component of the organization. It could
include technologies, infrastructure, internal processes, culture, and
many others (Arsith & Tanase, 2020). Here, I would like to share one
of my professional life experiences that were responsible for
managing change. When I was working in my previous organization, I
found that all the employees had a fear of the boss, and they were
hesitant to give their point of view in terms of achieving the
organizational goal. Here, it was essential to bring changes in the
work culture. Since I was appointed as a manager in the organization,
I have tried to reduce the gap between the employer and the
employees by providing enough training to the employees to
encourage and boost their confidence to talk in front of the boss.
Also, it is essential to maintain a work-friendly environment so that
better productivity can be derived from the organization. For this, I
have worked hard to communicate effectively with all the employees
and the employer.
In the organizational setting, it is essential for an individual to have
some important change management skills like active listening, better
communication, strategic thinking, research knowledge,
measurement and analysis, and leadership quality. While working in
the previous organization, I have already developed some of my skills
that am good at listening, good at communicating with others, doing
proper research before telling some changes in the organization, as
well as I also have a good quality of a leadership that has helped me a
lot to bring changes in the work culture (Arsith & Tanase, 2020). I
think I could have better managed the organizational change by using
a different approach. Here, I could have used measurement and
analysis to provide better reasoning for the organizational change. As
organizational culture is not static and it is dynamic, it was quite
helpful for me to bring changes to the work culture.
I have found some of the change management skills are already
present in me that are more relevant to my professional as well as
personal life. Usually, I used to be very good at engaging with people
in my personal as well as professional life, which has helped me a lot
to bring changes in the organizational culture. Another quality that I
have acquired is an excellent communication skill that makes people
listen to my points very carefully. Further, these change management
skills will be very helpful for me in the future to grow better in
managing the changes in the organizational settings.
