Step 5: Then say, “Get up, walk around, and stand near the sign that best
describes the stage of change that you are currently in for a particular
situation. Be prepared to discuss it with a partner. Now pair up.” Then
tell them in pairs to answer these questions:
Was this change thrust upon you? Is it clear where you are headed? How are you letting go of where you were?
What happens when you let go of one moment, before you get to
the next stage? What risks did you take to make that change happen?
What will take you to the next stage? Do you have the competencies and skills to get to the next stage?
What do you need to move on?Allow time to do this.Step 6: Debrief with the whole group, but try to get the quieter people to go
first.
Step 7: Close the module by asking, “How can you as leader use concrete
knowledge about personal change? Do you have all of the competencies
you need to survive corporate change?” Discuss these questions
together.Step 8: Encourage people to write in their journals or notebooks about how they
are weathering a change—a change talked about today, or a change
with which they are currently coping.POST-ACTIVITY REVIEW
