What’s new for you? <\/strong><\/h1>\nA new job, a new project, a reorganization? Sometimes we initiate these kinds of changes ourselves. However, often enough we are simply faced with it.<\/p>\n
Whether self-chosen or not, there is always the question: What to do? How can we cope with what we are facing?<\/p>\n

Apart from the question<\/h2>\n\nwhat’s going to happen next, in times of change, uncertainty always gnaws at us: Will I\/we be able to deal successfully with the tasks at hand?<\/strong>.<\/p>\nIf this uncertainty turns into doubt or even fear, there is a danger that we become unable to act and block against necessary steps: paralysis, conflicts, dissatisfaction are looming.<\/p>\n
Yet we humans prefer things to be quite different, that is: calm. We also feel most comfortable when things are running smoothly in the usual way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\nAnd yet things always turn out differently<\/h2>\n\nSometimes it’s customer requests, sometimes it’s innovations from the competition that need to be responded to; our best man, of all people, leaves the team or the go-getting and visionary managing director demands the testing of a new process technology at an unfortunate time.<\/p>\n
Last but not least, we also want to fulfill our own wishes: We want to take the next career step or we fall madly in love in another city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nSo we are constantly forced to seek new ways, to take a chance on something new, to adapt. <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
\n<\/div>\nAll the more amazing<\/h2>\nthat we generally have such a hard time with this and acquire virtually no conscious competence in this area.<\/div>\n\n
\n<\/div>\n\nIt is true for our change management what is true for our self-management in general: What we do, we usually do: very intuitively.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
\n<\/div>\nTrusting intuition alone<\/h2>\n
however, harbors high risks. Especially where several people are involved and affected.<\/p>\n
\nBecause intuitive decisions are based on individual experience and are insofar random. Success (especially organizational) is thus largely left to chance.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nGambler types may get a kick out of this. All others like it but perhaps more predictable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\nSo what to do<\/h2>\nto minimize the risk of failure and take purposeful action in uncertain times? What to do to feel good about upcoming changes? How to be sure you are doing the right thing? How to trust that change will go well?<\/div>\n\n
\n<\/div>\n1. Radical Acceptance!<\/h3>\n\nTo live is to change. Radically accept change as an inevitable part of life. This way you will save energy for the steps you need to take.<\/p>\n
This puts you in a position to act more stress-free, more flexibly, more actively, simply: better. In addition, you avoid a passive victim posture from the outset and take on an active, self-effective role.<\/p>\n
You are more likely to look for solutions in a goal-oriented way instead of focusing on problems. You also assess your options more realistically and then use them to your advantage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nAndr\u00e9 Gide<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
\n<\/div>\n2. Get to know the structure of change!<\/h3>\n\nKnowing how change happens in general and where you are in the process first gives you the ability to control the process. In this way, you gain the maximum degree of certainty, which is a good feeling.<\/p>\n
So how does change happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Leaving familiar routines and structures<\/li>\n
- Finding and installing new processes and patterns<\/li>\n
- Getting used to the things that are new and transferring them into new routine patterns<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
In the course of this three-step<\/strong> we internalize new routines of action on the one hand. Equally, however, we integrate new patterns of thought and attitude. We open up new perspectives and expand our horizons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
