One of the most often cited tools for change management is an affirmation statement. These are written statements, many times penned onto a 3 x 5 index card and exhibit the following criteria: Begin in the first person singular – I Stated in the present tense Describe the change or person that you wish to become Contain only positive words Then, three times each day, First thing in the morning right after awakening Mid day Last thing in the evening before going to sleep You must take the following actions: Hold the card (Physical) Read the card (Visual) Speak the written words out loud (Audio) Feel the statement from your “gut” (Emotional) The last action is the most important and why I no longer call these affirmation statements, but rather belief statements.Read more…Living Life from the Inside Out

For instance let's look at General Electric under Jack Welch.Many of General Electric’s divisions such as their commercial credit division, their energy products division, their medical division and their plastics division all had top-notch management and in each of these upper echelons was a man or woman who was at the top of their game.Read more…Change Management and Ego Issues

Change management issues can be just as serious in the private nonprofit sector as they can be in corporate America.
