Organizational Change: Leveraging Information for IMPACT
Originally published in Executive Support Magazine
My article “Leveraging Information for IMPACT” was originally published in Executive Support Magazine.
Assistants have the chance to make an impact when it comes to change in ways both big and small: the working environments that we create alongside those we support are important to cultivating a mindset for change, the constant pursuit of getting the right and relevant information needed to stay on top of matters for our leaders and teams is crucial, and how assistants are consistently – and uniquely – focused on managing the flow of information within our organizations makes a real difference when it comes to facilitating progress when implementing changes.
Take your opportunity to make an impact
When I had the chance to research how assistants are engaging in change within their organizations, one fact was clear: assistants are well suited to navigate change within their organizations alongside the leaders and teams they support.
The landscape of information that lies in front of an assistant offers a unique view and perspective of how an organization is progressing in change and can reveal new paths towards managing change effectively.
Trust that the unique perspective and information you have is relevant and can have an impact when leveraged in a positive, productive, and responsible way.
Take the opportunity to use that information in small but significant ways to Inform, Motivate, Plan, Advocate, Connect, and Turn the page to the next step, moving forward and approaching change in a better way.
