there is faith in the abilities of formal leaders,

employees will look towards the leaders for a number

of things. During drastic change times, employees will

expect effective and sensible planning, confident and

effective decision-making, and regular, complete

communication that is timely. Also during these times

of change, employees will perceive leadership as

supportive, concerned and committed to their welfare,

while at the same time recognizing that tough decisions

need to be made. The best way to summarize is that

there is a climate of trust between leader and the rest of

the team. The existence of this trust, brings hope for

better times in the future, and that makes coping with

drastic change much easier.
In organizations characterized by poor leadership,

employees expect nothing positive. In a climate of

distrust, employees learn that leaders will act in

indecipherable ways and in ways that do not seem to

be in anyone's best interests. Poor leadership means an

absence of hope, which, if allowed to go on for too

long, results in an organization becoming completely

nonfunctioning. The organization must deal with the

practical impact of unpleasant change, but more

importantly, must labor under the weight of employees

who have given up, have no faith in the system or in the

ability of leaders to turn the organization around.
Leadership before, during and after change

implementation is THE key to getting through the

swamp. Unfortunately, if haven't established a track

record of effective leadership, by the time you have to

deal with difficult changes, it may be too late.
Preparing For The Journey
It would be a mistake to assume that preparing for the

journey takes place only after the destination has been

defined or chosen. When we talk about preparing for

the change journey, we are talking about leading in a

way that lays the foundation or groundwork for ANY

changes that may occur in the future. Preparing is

about building resources, by building healthy

organizations in the first place. Much like healthy

people, who are better able to cope with infection or

disease than unhealthy people, organization that are

healthy in the first place are better able to deal with

change.
As a leader you need to establish credibility and a track

record of effective decision making, so that there is

trust in your ability to figure out what is necessary to

bring the organization .
