How to support your team when there is lots of change, with Ann-Marie Barlow

In this episode, we hear from organisational development and change expert, Ann-Marie Barlow. Ann-Marie has a wealth of experience from multiple perspectives. First, being on the receiving end of poorly managed change; next, as a manager leading change; now, as an expert who consults and advises organisations how to lead and manage change well. In other words, she’s a veteran of change.We look at the importance of understanding and acknowledging emotions during change and change coming in all shapes and sizes. We discuss the power of endings and beginnings and why it’s important to mark these properly. We explore uncertainty and why this is a key thing for managers to get comfortable with as we head further into the 21st century. And, of course, we talk about managers as role models to their teams during change. Do let us know what you think of this episode and don’t forget to rate, review, and follow so that other managers can benefit too.
