going to watch Jim Hemerling, who is an
organizational change expert BCG's, talking about smart ways to deal with,
and even grow from, the unavoidable and accelerating transformations taking
place at work. 5.1 Fill in the missing information after watching
the video. Have you ever noticed _______ you ask someone to talk about a change
they're making for the better in their personal lives, they're often really
energetic? Whether it's training for a marathon, picking up an old hobby, or
learning a new skill, for most people, self-transformation projects occupy a
very positive emotional space. Self-transformation is _______, energizing, even exhilarating. I mean
just take a look at some of the titles of self-help books: «Awaken the Giant
Within», «Practicing the Power of Now», or here's a great one we can all
relate to, «You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start
Living an Awesome Life». When it comes to self-transformation, you can't help but get a sense
of the excitement. But there's another type of transformation that occupies a
very different emotional space. The transformation of organizations. If
you're like most people, when you hear the words «Our organization _______ going to start a
transformation», you're thinking, «Uh-oh». «Layoffs». The blood drains from your face, your mind goes into
overdrive, frantically searching for some place to run and hide. Well, you can run, _______ you really can't hide. Most of us
spend the majority of our waking hours involved in organizations. And due to
changes in globalization, changes due to advances in technology and other
factors, the reality is our organizations are constantly
having to adapt. In fact, I call this the era of «always-on»
transformation. When I _______
this idea with my wife Nicola, she said, «Always-on
transformation? That sounds exhausting». And that may be exactly what you're
thinking — and you would be right. Particularly if _______ continue to approach the
transformation of organizations the way _______ always have been. 5.2 After
watching the video say in what context the following words and phrases were
mentioned. ·
because we can't hide, we need to
sort out two things ·
transformation is so exhausting ·
change is hard ·
people naturally resist change ·
leaders often wait too long to act ·
everything is happening in crisis
mode ·
tends to be exhausting ·
focus on the short-term results ·
give any hope for the future ·
take a superficial one-off approach ·
return back to business as usual as
soon as the crisis is over 5.3 Say if
these statements are true or false. 1.
In order to get test scores to go
up, teachers will end up teaching to the test. 2.
Most transformations have financial
and operational goals. 3.
To motivate more broadly, the
transformation needs to connect with a deeper sense of purpose. 4.
The LEGO Group has become an
extraordinary global company. 5.
Too many transformations are
nothing more than head-count cutting exercises; layoffs under the guise of
transformation. 6.
In the face of relentless
competition, it may well be that you will have to take the painful decision
to downsize the organization, just as you may have to lose some weight in
order to run a marathon. 7.
The third imperative for putting
people first is to enable people with the capabilities that they need to
succeed during the transformation and beyond. |
