Chaos Whispering Practical Tips
• Remember that change is detected as a risk/danger by our brains without us realizing it, so you and your team must acknowledge this dynamic before rolling out anything new
• Give time and space for yourself as the leader to adjust to the idea of the change.
• Take the time to decide how/when/what you will communicate with your team, knowing that they are hearing this for the first time and may not have the background info that you do
• When dealing with resistors, listen to their reasons for resisting. Reframe them as opportunities to update the process or your communication.
• Be as transparent as possible with the what/how/why for the change. It’s ok to answer some questions with “I don’t know, but I will find out and close the loop w/ you”
